When you get the dash decal and gold 2001 from the side I will take a set of those (maybe 2) along with the appropriate flag and since 1925 decals for my 83.

DrCC, call Woody at 407-851-1965.
I think he might have some of those decals. I'm also looking for the same ones. Dave |

I might as well help clear up any mis-understanding on why we spent the last 5 months trying to get these decals as close to original as possible. I have known Woody (Former SECC) now mastercraft and Bruce at soon to be(formerly MWCC) for over twenty years. Woody had the last gold 2001 decals about twelve years ago. The glue went bad on the last dash decal and was thrown away! Our understanding is that these DO NOT exist any longer in the Correct Craft inventory.
I wanted a replacement set for my 83 Ski Nautique and thought that others might be interested in having not only these, but other hard to find to find Correct Craft and decals. I hope that CCF members will enjoy adding these to their boats and tow rigs. I replaced my dash sticker today! Here it is! Sorry there is a little glare from the sun around the small 2001. These are not scratch marks! 
The Price for the dash decal is $35.00 plus shipping! The Price on the side 2001 decal is $25.00 for the pair plus shipping! ------------- mailto:mrfurymn.8124@yahoo.com" rel="nofollow - Pauly-Banana http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4102&yrstart=1981&yrend=1985" rel="nofollow - My 1983 Nautique <b |

Late 70's License Plate. I had one of these made from my own that I never used or installed on my trailer. There were complaints from some people that the orginals had developed dry rot. These are made of metal with the decal over the top with white painted metal on the back! They are 12X6 (standard license plate) with white and dark blue coloring.

| Paul, I'm looking for a set of the larger since 1925 decals for my '77. A few months ago I ordered a full set from Woody but the "since" ones are too small. I'm quite sure that the ones I took off were origional since they said 1925 to 1977. The shadow on my gelcoat measures 7" tall ( from top to bottom of the point ) by 5" wide. I would use the ones I've got but the shadow is just too obvious. Can you help me? |

I brought three of these that were given away at the Green Lake reunion as door prizes. Many expressed an interest in these so here is the 2001 82-84 license plates as shown on my trailer!
Here they are!
License plates in red, black, blue and gray! It is white metal with the vinyl sticker on the front. You can order these in red, black, blue and gray. They are in stock and ready to be shipped. The cost is $25.00 plus $6.00 priority mail shipping. If you purchase more than one the shipping cost stays at $6.00 dollars total for shipping. I take checks and money orders.

Paul;
Thanks for the quick response. Clarification on the "Since 1925" decals. Mine actually say 1925-1975 on the bottom, and there is a depiction of a non-Ski Nautique correct craft boat in the center of it encompassed by the large feather like symbols. I know it may not be a big deal, but, just curious if you have those instead of the ones that actually say "Since 1925". Let me know. Just wanted to keep it original! Dave |

Hi Dave, Thank You for your Post Reply. Is there a chance that you could send a close-up picture of your 1925-1976 Correct Craft side boat decal? How bad are your stickers on your boat now? I am working with a very talented decal image house. I would need a tracing of the actual decal size (Height & Width) and any pictures of the decal colors when the boat was new.

Not the best picture, but it should give you an idea of what the "1925-1975" decal looks like. It measures 6 7/8" in height (to the tip at the bottom), and 5 1/2" wide. It appears to have a depiction of a Southwind on it. Definately not a Ski Nautique. See picture below. Several years ago, I stopped by a Correct Craft dealer just outside of Milwauakee, and they had several of the "Since 1925" decals, so I picked one up that I have in my office. This "Since 1925" decal is a little smaller than the decal on my boat, although the design is basically the same. This decal has a depiction of a late 70's Ski Nautique on it. It measures 6 1/8" x 4 3/4". Dave

Hey does anyone know where i can come across a chrome decal that was located in the center of the console on late 70's - 80 models...It was a chrome logo that said Ski Nautique in a cursive type writing. I am restoring my 82 and would love to find one!

77 nautique,
I was going through the old posts and found that you needed a set of the largest (Since 1925) side decals for your 1977 Nautique. Did you ever find a set of 7-3/16 Tall x 5-9/16 Wide? I now have them in stock.

Hi davidg, I have got in touch with Correct Craft people, about your side decals and your decal probably was never remade after the original run was used up. I ran it by the decal people that I am working with and they feel that it could be reproduced, but it would be expensive to make a small amount of that decal. They wondered if you know of other 1975 or 1976 Southwind people are in need of that decal?

no you are tight...it came with the gold sticker instead... the thing is, i love the look of the 1980 SN. I am renovating the boat and want to mesh the two looks together. So instead of the gold sticker i want to go with the chrome logo. I am also painting my boat with the graphics of the 1980 SN. I have a white hull and i am going with the black tripes and SN logo. She will look just like BJ's Boat but black instead of Red. I know this might break from "tradition" in that im not restoring her to the exact Correct Craft Template but she will be gorgeous and one of a kind!...Im sure she wont mind...
BJ, thanks i will call you asap about the chrome logos. dwcar, How can i contact you about the black airguide decals??? Thanks all, Bailey ------------- ~Bailey |

BJ,
Almost forgot - KUDOS on your resto! Your boat looks fabulous!!! I dont have as much work to do on mine as you but i hope it looks as nice. Did you have to paint your hull? My gelcoat is so dull because we sanded it down after we saved her from a "jailhouse" dock. She was tied up for 3-4 years and was flooded! We were able to save and rebuild most of her in 2000, But her hull has never had a shine to it. I am trying to make a decision on wether to paint the hull and graphics or gelcoat then paint graphics, or some one even told me about applying many coats of automotive clear coat? What did you do or what are your suggestions? Thanks! ~Bailey ------------- ~Bailey |

I heard a rumor that "The God Father" might have a bright shiny NEW chrome trailer sticker that was used possibly all the way back to the 1970's and maybe earlier on Correct Craft made trailers! I would think that many CCF members would need these! Let Pauly-Banana know if you have access to any of those stickers so that re-production can get started so that all CCF members restoring their trailers can have access to that cool sticker! Also, does anyone know anything about getting the black and white Ski Nautique trailer sticker used from 1985-1988?

Basically the same type that is on your boat. He has to change it a little bit do to copywrite laws. We did not check into it but Im sure that Nautique has there lettering copywrited.

The boat in Chris's profile is a '78 Ski Tique- not his 1st gen Skier (which wouldnt have had any decals). Your 2nd gen Skier would have originally had a different style than either boat, which is why he is asking to see it. To my knowledge, the Skiers never had the "Competition Ski Boat" on the back... Im curious how close yours are to the factory, which should have been like this for '74-75:  ------------- |

I will upload pics. As soon as I can. But I have to tell you. Im onll 24 years old and have no clue of the first owner. I do know the s2nd owner. Although the first owner got the boat he took every sticker off of the boat and used to to fish out of. He used the engine cover to play cards on when he was trolling... I know very strange. I have tried to copy someother boats on this site. If you take a look at the midwest reunion picture 158 we have taken that design and make the "oragne"- "red" Yes Im a OU fan. I do not know if there was ever Comp. Ski boat accros the back.

| I am scanning in two license tags one trailer decal and the 1925-1975 decal shield that measures 5 1/2" wide and 7"long to the point at the bottom of the decal. One of the tags really should read "Nautiques by Correct Craft since 1961 not 1925 because the term Nautique wasintroduced before 1961 by Leo when he had the name Ski Nautique under his company Glass Craft boats and he sold the molds to Correct Craft in 1961. I have to scale down the file a bit and you will see them here. Mike |

Mike, thanks for the image, it does show alot of detail. I could see from this that some changes will need to be made to the years numbering that we are currently working on. I will watch for your next image. I appreciate the help, it really makes a difference. It looks like you removed this one from your boat. Is that true? ------------- mailto:mrfurymn.8124@yahoo.com" rel="nofollow - Pauly-Banana http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4102&yrstart=1981&yrend=1985" rel="nofollow - My 1983 Nautique <b |

Very cool stuff.....why would it be 1961 and not 1925? The first model of Nautique? ------------- |
Posted By: nautique frk
Date Posted: January-13-2010 at 3:35pm
| The first nautique built by Correct Craft was built in 1961,before that the name and the original mold for that hull was made by and belonged to Leo Bentz and his company was Glass Craft boats out of miami. He marketed his tow boat as the Ski Nautique by Glass Craft. He sold the mold to the Meloons sometime before 61 and went back to law school. |

| Thanks, Yes if it were not for Leo and the Ski Nautique we would probably not be communicating on a web site such as this and Correct Craft would not have the kind of Cult Following of their brand that they have had for decades.He is a very nice man and he was kind enough to pass on to me some very special treasures. |

The 70's version looks pretty darn close! Not sure if its too late to make minor changes, but the originals look to have slightly sharper edges on the script. If not, its a pretty minor difference- I know Ill take a few sets either way. Nice job!

We decided to produce these knowing that we could only really get close on the 1970's decal. In an effort to help keep our cost down, we decided to produce what we pictured! The script had to be hand drawn. We used the 1980's bottom font in the 1970's decal to also help keep cost resonable. We had a huge advantage on the 1980's decal. Bruce at N3 marine sent two chrome 1980's decals that could be used to help reduce design cost and provide something for us to work with! The reality was that we were never able to get a good image to use or never a complete decal picture without some obstruction within the image. It took time just to get the size since many people offered a variety of measurements. In discussion with our design artist "Dan" the original font in Correct Craft does not exist as a computer text and was of course hand drawn many years ago. The curles within the font on the letters expecially the "C's" were the most challenging. For us it would have been much easier to only produce the 1980's decal, but we did not want to disappoint many of you. Adding more artwork and time into the design would increase the cost of each decal. The chrome decal really looks awsome and I hope that it really adds something special to your boat and trailer. By the way we slightly increased the size of both decals to help cover years of fading on your trailer! The size of the 1980's is 2 1/8 X 10 5/8 and the 1970's is 2 3/8 X 12 1/4 Pauly-Banana ------------- mailto:mrfurymn.8124@yahoo.com" rel="nofollow - Pauly-Banana http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4102&yrstart=1981&yrend=1985" rel="nofollow - My 1983 Nautique <b |

I think these should sell very well for you. I know that Ill take several sets- Ill shoot you an email. ------------- |

Pauly,
Thanks, I will drop a check in the mail on Monday. Say hello to Scott for me, let him know the boat perfroming well. I am getting the gelcoat repaired in a few spots. Too much for me to tackle and expect professional results. I am working with one CC's former employees when they were located in Pincastle from a while back. He used to the glassman responsible for 1989 Ski Nautique hull molds.
