Cool boats. Probably cost more than an older Correct Craft if you can find one. I used to have a C hydro. I saw one for sale a couple of years ago that was not nearly as nice as the one we had and they wanted $4500 with the motor. Is a B a 20 hp motor? ------------- |

I'm going to use a 10 hp Lightning, I'm looking for a vintage hull with the dual cockpit, it does not have to be a "name" maker. The boats in the photos above would sell for nice money, but they are in original shape, by famous makers. A well made kit boat from the same era would be worth 1/10th. If it needs some work that is fine, but I would like to find one with the hardware. ------------- Gary http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=941" rel="nofollow - 1965 Barracuda SS |

Post pics if you get it. I love those boats. I had a C/D Marchedi hydro years ago with a Mark 30 racing engine. I bought the engine off a Utility racer from Quincy, Mass. My buddy and I were way too young to have gotten into such a nice toy back then. If we had only just stored that stuff away. ------------- |

Hey, sent you an email yesterday thru the site....been battling the email gods lately. I have emailed him several times, called yesterday and haven't heard anything back. I was going to head up this weekend but it might be the 15th when I head to the Warner Auction before I can get up there.
If we need to get it out of his hands before, I could ask a friend to go take it to their garage. They have a lake house up there so I'm not 100% sure when they will be up next. Shoot me an email with your # and I can give ya a call tonight. cmars(at)baproductionsinc.com ------------- |
