All I can say, is the GL reunion was another fantastic weekend. Great seeing new faces/meeting new friends and seeing all the many friends from last year.
My sincere thanks the all who made it great especially Keith and Dave who did all the work to make it happen. I'm already looking forward to 2009!! Next year maybe the wind will cooperate and not produce the rough water that we had. I don't think anyone came in off the lake yesterday that wasn't wet!! Today the wind was even stronger!! I don't want to forget Steve's (rain dog) party on Thursday evening. It was a lot of work for himself and family and very appreciated. ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Just returned from my first GL reunion, a great time. It was nice to meet so many CC Fans, and see so many great boats. My hats off to those responsible for this great event, as I know there is much work involved in making these thing happen. Thankfully all survived the severe weather. Thanks for the invite Pete ------------- Charlie Three Lakes, Wisconsin 69 Barracuda |

OH MAN!!! That was an awesome time. Got to meet some people that I didn't run into last year. Everyone was great to hang out with... sometimes longer than I wanted to. You guy's that are reading this, chances are, except for Pete and Brady, I think, didn't make it, but you should have! ------------- 1992 SN Black w/ Yellow |

Absolute blast, just some teaser photos from thursday on the water, try to come back and caption them tomorrow...
Rob and his beautiful SNOB, thanks for the pull and lugging my ski around for me Rob. 
Alan (81Nautique) and family along with Brian Hall (BKH) and Family both boats were class winners and look even better in person, neither are trailer queens they did plenty of pulling over the weekend. 
Chris Quinn Helping set up Brian Hall and Daughter Aspen for a two ski attempt behind Alan’s 81 
Brian and Aspen after attempt 1. 
Good view of the tow boat. 
Steve “Raindog” Evens getting his girls up on the wakeboard with plenty of willing helpers, sadly I can’t tell which is Sydney and which one is Dom from the pics, so I won’t caption each one but they made great wakeboard strides this weekend. They still can’t splash for a darn though…

What a weekend! This reunion just keeps getting better every year. It was great seeing so many familiar faces and meeting some new ones. Wish I could have stayed another day like a lot of people did.
Much thanks to Keith and Dave, you guys did a great job putting everything together and making sure things ran smoothly . Can't wait to see everyone's pictures! |

It was great to meet all of you guys and girls! My wife just kept on commenting how nice and friendly everyone was. i sure wish the wind would have stayed away, but it was a great time and we are planning on next year for sure! Keep the pictures coming since that was one thing that did not make the trip (camera) It looked like there will be thousands of pics going by all the people with cameras.
Thanks for a great time everyone! Dan ------------- Is it Summer yet?? |

What an amazing weekend with 37 boats and over 120 people! So many wonderful people along with so many great stories to tell about the weekend. I will be writing up a more detailed recap shortly but wanted to post a few highlights and photos as soon as possible.
Dave Dorsen (Mojo) did another amazing job of coordinating the facilities and rental equipment – and cooks a mean bratwurst! Steve Evans (RainDog) and family hosted a great party on Thursday night. They were amazingly generous entertainers, even through the crazy storm that hit during the party. One of the many highlights of the weekend was a surprise visit from Ken Meloon on Saturday. Not only did Ken mingle with everyone, getting in the water, talking with people and signing boats, but he also brought his slalom trick ski and enjoyed a pull from Joel Hughes (M3Fan) – entertaining us all with some great skiing! Adam Wensink ran the SAN 230 from 9am until 5pm, giving at least a dozen people free boarding and surfing lessons and wowed the entire sandbar with an amazing ride himself in probably the roughest water he’s ever seen! Dave Hendricks not only represented Correct Craft at the event but was a tremendous help as well. A very special thank you to Dave for sharing his Correct Craft knowledge and for being a incredible help throughout the weekend. Also, a big thank you to all the sponsors. Below are a few photos. There will be a lot more to come. Thank you everyone for another terrific weekend in Green Lake! Friday afternoon:

Well what can I say? What an AWESOME time! Sure the wind blew for two days...guess we missed the really bad storm thursday evening. But it was really not about the weather or the skiing...it was about meeting all you guys. What a pleasure to be able to put some faces with all the familiar names. And just as pleasurable to see some of the people we've already met.
Can't hardly start mentioning names for thank-yous as I am sure to miss someone. But I gotta mention Mojo for the great food Friday night plus all the legwork he does ahead of time. Last but not least...where would we all be without Keith? This all started with him. You all saw how hard he worked all weekend. I hope he had as good a time as all of us had. Thanks again guys for a great weekend! john ------------- "Loud pipes save lives" AdamT sez "I'm Canadian and a beaver lover myself"... |

Patricia and I had a great time at GL again. This year, we got a chance to meet some new friends and catch up with old friends.
John, we were thrilled to finally get to meet you and Patty. It felt like we've know you forever. I heard from Patricia that you like my new shorts. 
Joel/Beth, you two were fun to hang with. Thank for the pull on Sunday and allowing me to drive the 2000 SN. Got to get me one! Rob, It was great seeing you again this year. I absolutely love the SNOB with the GT40. It handled great on Lake Michigan.
Matt, It was great meeting you. Love the bright red on your 2001. Stay in touch! Brian, great seeing you again. Great chat at the Goose. Mojo, sorry Patricia and I missed you on Sunday night. I crashed right after dinner. The 5:00AM wake-ups/footn'/skiing caught up to me. I was in bed by 8:00, out the door at 5:00AM to catch our flight yesterday. Dave Hendricks from Correct Craft, thanks for spending hours chatting with me about Correct Crafts. We're talking about planning a factory tour within the year. I'll stay in touch! To the rest of everyone, thanks for another great year. We're gearing up for Lake George in September. Most of all, thanks to Keith for allowing all of us to be together at the CorrectCraftFan.com reunion. What an experience!

Another great year- huge thanks to Keith and Mojo for pulling this whole thing together! Id also like to personally thank JoeinNY (for putting me up on my trip out, the campsite, etc), Quinner, Ripster and Alan (for the pulls), Behl (for picking up and storing a Mustang floor pan for 3 months in Indy), HW (for letting me crash in his trailer when it rained), ReidP (for the prop) and Pete (for backing into my tail light ).
My only complaint was that the weekend was too short- I didnt see as many boats or talk to as many people as I would have liked. The boats were great, but the people are top notch- old faces and new all seemed like old friends. I hope to see many of you in NY this fall! ------------- |

Keith , I tip my hat to you again for the site and the hard work involved in keeping this site of misfits all on the same page. MoJo a bow to you for the food ,Them was some killer weenies.......
And a hand to Steve to open his home to all these CCFans. Karen and I had a better time than last, renewed some old friendships and started some new,but a great time was had for all there. The high light of her time was Ken Maloon signing the engine cover on "her boat".The wind was a little rough, the water a little cool,the boat show awsome,the awards top notch and the camaraderie unsurpassed . It was a 2300 mile trip for Karen and I , but well worth the effort......Boat dr/Boat nurse..... ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

I'll jump in with all of you guys to express my thanks to Keith; what a great opportunity this site has been.
I finally got to meet Reid, who introduced me to my boat four years ago. I was also pleasantly surprised that collectively we are all younger than what I imagined, although not by much. 62 Wood, aren't you glad I hung around to make sure that your boat could get across the lake on it's maiden voyage? (Thanks for pulling me in.) A big thanks to the Boat Dr. for getting me back on the water! What a joy to bounce like a cork on the seven sees. I kept telling my wife, "See these are great guys." Thanks to mother CC for making boats that have enough stories to get people from across the nation (and next year from around the world) to get together and continue the stories.

Good deal, Brian. Laurie, the dogs and I pulled back in about 10 AM yesterday. We were caravaning with Jerry and Critter, but we had to pull over 3hrs from home and snooze for a while as those two rigs ran the 17-19 hrs straight.
I don't know how it happened, but in my opinion this year was even better than 2007! ------------- ReidP /diaries/details.asp?ID=231&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 1973 Mustang |

Not much to say that hasn't been said. Next year, we'll definitely stay Sunday night as well. That seems to be the trend. What's one more vacation day to stretch out an unbelievable weekend?
My biggest thanks go to Keith, for the site, Mojo, for all the work, Raindog, for the party Thursday night, and M3fan for volunteering to install the new bimini top on my boat, since I was too chicken s#*t to drill into the gel.

As we bask in the afterglow....
Another fantastic event. I had the privilege to spend time with CCFer's from Wed through Mon and we still didn't have enough time. Thanks to all who braved the elements to stop over at the cookout. At one point, we were worried that we would have to consume 3.5 tenderloins and 4 gallons of beer each. Realize we had as good of time hosting as you did attending. Mom loved having her house filled with people laughing and carrying on. The only bummer (aside for the intense rain cell) was we were so busy we didn't take any pics. If anyone has some, please send them over. Big thanks to Keith and Moj' who do all the heavy lifting, to all the sponsors who support the event and to Dave Hendricks and Ken Maloon from Correct Craft. Special thanks to Adam Wensink. We finally found someone capable of unseating the Jonas Brothers in our household! What a relief... Lastly, here's to everyone else in attendance for making last week the highlight of my summer. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1868&sort=&pagenum=1 - 62 Classic http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5242&sort=&pagenum=1 - 2002 Super Air |

Ditto to what has been said already. Candice and I had a nice time seeing everyone again as well as meeting some new people. Definitely not enough time to get to talk to everybody. Here are a few pictures, I'll try to upload the rest to the FTP soon.
A HUGE thanks to Keith and Dave for the time and effort put in. I cannot imagine you two would have thought this would be come this big, and hopefully bigger in years to come. Nice work on the apparel Alan! The 2001 and the almost Mrs.

I had the chance to meet and have lunch yesterday with Mr and Mrs Jbear. They stopped just South of Atlanta while on their way to Tennessee. One of the nicest couple's you'll ever meet. After only 90 minutes with them Kim and I felt like we've known them for along time. They said they had a great time at GL and that Kim and I fit in with the rest of those whom the've met on the site. John said that we really need to do a South East reunion either in Fla or Ga next year. Looking forward to it and meeting more CCfanatic's. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

Yeah Greg, that is our little kid - Alex - 5 y.o. That brings me to a larger point that isn't always obvious. The kids, wives and girlfriends have a blast along with the rest of us, especially as they get to know each other a little better each year. Our kids look forward to the reunion and have as much fun as I do. From what I saw, I think all of the other kids, even the teenagers, had a really great time. Maybe Keith needs a special forum for the ladies - a "Women's Asylum". They can trade tips on how to stay dry and warm in any pre-1990's CC, how to drag your husband away from the damn computer, how to spot new boat parts entering the house, etc. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1868&sort=&pagenum=1 - 62 Classic http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5242&sort=&pagenum=1 - 2002 Super Air |

It was quite a journey Larry, but we enjoyed it (at least I did). I can say it was quite a load pulling the boat over the Sierra Nevadas, Rocky Mountains, and the Black Hills. When I do it again, I hope to have the 82 Ski Nautique completed which will be a much lighter boat to tow. BKH ------------- Livin' the Dream |

Wow! What a great time we had at Green Lake! I really enjoyed getting to meet everyone out at the sandbar & loved checking out the boats too! Both my wife & I commented on how friendly the whole group was & we really enjoyed meeting all of you!
Can't wait to come again next year & I'll be sure to bring a few more Super Deluxe Boom Mounts for the raffle! I have a few more products up my sleeve that should be ready over the winter, hopefully I can offer more to this fantastic group! We tried to get to the sandbar on Sunday, but after pounding the 3 foot? rollers heading out (reminded me of the most dangerous catch on the discovery channel!), we decided to pack it in & head home...did anyone make it out there on Sunday? I've never seen waves so big on a lake!

Hey all,
Just back from GL.... What a wonderfull week on "Flat", calm Green Lake... As usual the lake calmed down after everyone left.... Just have to come out all week people !!! Anyway, what an amazing event... I can call it an event now.. Cooking brats for over 100 people is an "event" hahaha.. I'm glad everyone had such a great time. Seeing people get together from all corners of the country to meet and spend time with is worth it all... Keith has some work to do trying to top GL08', becasue I'm not sure it can be done... Thanks to everyone who lent a hand with the tent and grill etc. It was again, most appreciated !!!! I've got some good pics as well that we'll get up and out as soon as I can...

I had a chance to speak with Ken Meloon last week. He once again told me of what a great time he had and the wonderful impression the event had on him. He is doing his best to join us in Lake George as well this September.
Ken provided the following quote which I'll be adding to the reunion pages shortly. "I have been to many Correct Craft owner reunions over the years in Ohio, Texas and Florida at various theme parks, but the Green Lake, Wisconsin reunion was extra special in that we were able to spend time together on the water enjoying our Correct Craft boats. It was like a walk down memory lane for me in that I saw Correct Crafts from the early 60's to present day. I hope to be able to attend again next year and plan to bring my 1975 CC Mustang to share in the fun." -Ken Meloon, Chairman of the Board, Correct Craft, Inc. ------------- Former: /diaries/details.asp?ID=6170" rel="nofollow - 97 Sport Nautique 1994 Ski Nautique 86 Silver Nautique 79 Mustang |

Billy sorta has it right..... Green Lake actually started about 3 1/2 years ago when 4 really cool guys on the site found out they only lived a few hours away from each other. (one had a summer home in GL) Its rumored that they "just wanted to get together" some weekend. This made others on the site very jealous and they also wanted to be included, so it was opened up to accept anyone with a Correct Craft. Well, it kinda got carried away and people came from near and far to see what all the fuss was about. They had so much fun that others thruout the country (at least some NewEnglanders) decided they too would do this and started the re-union that is now held at Lake george. So you see, you too could start one.....(now enter what Boat Dr said!)

Well, my dad was a truck driver, and he owned his own 1987 Peterbilt 359 Classic! Times change and he decided to sell the buisness, and get a job (still as a driver) but employed at Frito-Lay. Correct Craft has always been in the family, my grandpa has a 1989 Ski Nautique(link to follow). Since we live in Va, and my grandpa lives in NY, we only get to use it about 2 times a year! That all changed when my Uncle(My dads brother) found this boat as a surprise to help him get over the selling of his Dream Truck! It was located on lake Erie in Sandusky, OH, some 500 miles away. I was 10 years old at the time, and we drove up there and my dad saw the potentialof this boat. Due to my age, I thought a boat is a boat! I now have very different views on that! So, the thing ran like CRAP! But my dad can fix almost anything, and he really did a good job! We had to redo the ignition system, and the accelerator pump on the carb, and really that fixed the major problems. Of course, little bugs here and there. We just added 8 new plugs and cleaned and gapped the points. It has a swim platform which was added by the previous owner. We always trailor it, and as long as the engine is strong, this boat has many more memories to be made! We live about 30 miles from Smith Mountain lake. It is 40 miles long, and full of the best coves for skiing! I am seeing more and more Correct Crafts on this beautiful lake. I would love to have a reunion here but it's a LOT of work! -Chris My Granpas '89 http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=906&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1989&yrend=1989 ------------- 74SkiNautique |

Hi-ya Chris: Really enjoy your posts! Always a story about these awesome boats.
I skiied on Sandusky Bay for about 30 years with the West Shore Water Ski Club. I knew most of the Correct Crafts there. Do you remember who you guys bought it from? BTW...beautiful boat. Kinda refreshing to see a young guy who enjoys an older ride...not needing a loud (music) wake boat. john ------------- "Loud pipes save lives" AdamT sez "I'm Canadian and a beaver lover myself"... |

We bought it from a young man named Ryan Wailey. He had to move to Colorado and could not take the boat with him. I'm glad he didnt!
I know what you are saying about a Loud MUSIC Wakeboard boat. I am a slalom skier, and proud of it! Our boat does have a custom stereo but we are not permitted to let it go loud enough to interfear with the engine's sound! Nothing like Straight pipes on a V8! ------------- 74SkiNautique |

Steve, (62wood),
Actually how the whole Green lake reunion started.....Stang and myself started a thread about getting together in Mo. and having a classic reunion......Well a ALOT of the other guys showed interest in having a reunion for all CC's so two of our Main representatives (Mojo, 81nautique) had the perfect place for it and really put forth alot of time to make it happen....and it blossomed from there into a full flegged Reunion
To see where it started Look at topic Classic owners Reunion Paul, ------------- 1963 Classic (handed down to my daughter) 67 Riviera 68 barracuda 1971 Ski Nautique Promo 86 Silver Nautique 1995 Ski Nautique |

Well, I have finally finished the http://www.correctcraftfan.com/reunions/mw08%5Fgallery/ - 2008 Midwest Reunion slide show . I narrowed it down to just 224 photos but still think it does a great job of capturing the great time had by all.
Enjoy! -Keith ------------- Former: /diaries/details.asp?ID=6170" rel="nofollow - 97 Sport Nautique 1994 Ski Nautique 86 Silver Nautique 79 Mustang |

Keith, Fantastic job on the slide show!
BTW, every picture of jbear at the Friday meet and great I noticed he's got his legs crossed. Maybe next year we should have the function at the top of the hill - closer to the mens room for the old guy!!! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Hey Guys,
I know that a handfull of you who attended the Midwest Reunion received youth size shirts by mistake. Well, Action Screen Printing (Alan, aka 81Nautique) was nice enough to print a few more Green Lake shirts. I'll be sending them out next week after I get back from Lake George. I have most of the names but if you mistakenly received one of the youth shirts, please mailto:keith@correctcraftfan.com - email me with your address and the size you need. Thanks, Keith ------------- Former: /diaries/details.asp?ID=6170" rel="nofollow - 97 Sport Nautique 1994 Ski Nautique 86 Silver Nautique 79 Mustang |
