Guys I had a blast this weekend! Thanks to all for coming out to the sticks for another great year! Like I said before anyone can come in and see the new boats I have in the showroom but it is always awesome to bring the "good ones" in for them to see. It lets them see the roots of the company, sport, and industry. You all are true ambassadors to the history of Correct Craft and it is an honor to have you all at WLM at one time to educate everyone around here! As always when it was closing time at the shop Amanda and I were welcomed at the motel for even more fun on the water, good food, and some ice cold beverages. I thank you for this as well! I am looking forward to WLM2013 and y'all be ready for some good changes! I already have some things cooking in the air in my head! ------------- 1973 San Juan Flybridge www.nautiqueparts.com |

Great collection of photos Marty. Looks like you hired a wedding photographer to follow you around plus collect all the highlights. I really was supposed to be there this year, but things just arent going my direction right now. Not just to have seen y'alls ugly mugs but in the bigger picture too. I'd better be there next year!! Nice display Saturday. I know Townsend likes to show the vintage stuff to his customers. Some nice clean old engines in the grouping. Couple boats in didnt recognize: who are the yellow tique and the reddish brownish nautique. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

Larry, which reddish/brownish Nautique are you referring to? Jackie's '75? The yellow Tique was brought over by Jim from PCM. He and Mark Schneider joined us for the weekend. Great guys- and Mark was a wealth of knowledge on the 409.  ------------- |

Looks like the engine had been repainted at some point? And the pictures look like someone took it for a speed run!? Any results? ------------- |

I never caught a glimpse of the engine, come to think of it. I think someone said it was a stock 302 though. I think the speed runs youre referring to were with the 1210 Acme that Reid had loaned out. That prop worked great on the Royal Flush as well! ------------- |

I was thinking the same thing. Would be nice if photos on here could be "tagged" like on Facebook (I know, how would an old fart like me know about tagging on Facebook) But it would be cool if you could run your mouse over someone or someone's boat to find out who it is or who's it is. Short of that, posters could do some captions with key info. There were a few boats strange to me beyond the couple I mentioned above. And, although I do recollect some earlier mention of Reid's blue and white Mustang, I can't seem to recall its origins/history. And which is the Royal Flush that Tim mentioned? (or is that Reid's boat...I am just going on the 'royal' and 'blue' connection here.------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

Ugh. Dont get me started! As I told Reid, the only reason it didnt end up at the bottom of White Lake is because its only 11 ft deep and too darn clear... so he'd probably be able to find it! Im going to drop it in Norman next time Im down there instead. That boat is way too pretty to be running around with that goofy top! ------------- |

Boy it sure is weird seeing the 81 with a different driver in it but I heard it ran great and Eddie took a liking to it.  . Glad it finally got back on the water with everybody. Looks like a great time for everyone.And is that Donald's 80 "dark Blue" nautique all prettied up, sure looks great, nice color man. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

Alan, Yes, that is my 80 with blue trim. It looked like junk beside your old 81. At one point of the Raft up there were boats registered from the following states: IL, CT, NY, GA, NC, SC, I just thought that was very cool to see in little old White Lake, NC. Wish you were there with your beautiful new sport. Donald |

I too would like to thank the following: Townsend and White Lake Marine for the warm welcome. Dave, Champaign, Marty and Karen for all of their help. Joe, Dan, Adam and Jackie for getting my 14 year old daughter Madeleine up Long Line ( Behind the boat) and on the Boom Wakeboarding. I really appreciate the time and attention you gave her. She is ready to hit Lake Norman on the Wake Board. I would like to thank Tim, Joe and Reid for showing that a Shot Ski with four holes is not only for drinking, but it is also for sking. Each guy skied the Shot Ski with no bindings on Sunday. Tim's effort was the best. The went about three miles and crossed the wake several times. He dropped off of the ski right back behind the boats. He placed his heal over one of the holes to keep the water from hitting him in the face. I did not think it was possible, but it was. I think they invented a new water sport craze. I had a blast and so did my daughter Madeleine. Thanks, Donald |

Hey it’s Dan, for those of you that don’t recognize the name I am JoeinNY’s modest and incredible good looking friend that had the privilege of joining the fun at White Lake. I just wanted to tell everyone what a great time I had at White Lake. Thanks to: • Dave, Champagne, Marty and the rest of the Mabe Clan, and White Lake Marina(Townsend) for keeping me stuffed all weekend with delicious food, to include but not limited to pork, chicken, hamburgers, hotdogs, shrimp, oysters, steak and access to unlimited chips. • Reid and Laurie for putting me up the first night • Nautique John for the ride from the airport • Greg B, Tim B, Tim D, Reid P, and Joe for the free pulls • Reid P for slightly lowering my self-esteem to benefit his own • Jackie D for sharing his “Crazy Umpire” YouTube video with me – funny story ask him about it sometime • Everyone that maintained a good positive mental attitude (PMA) trying to get up for the first time Madeleine(wakeboard), Jess M(wakeboard), Abby M(wakeskate), Stephanie M(wakeboard), Matt M(wakeboard) and Adam D(Sky Ski ) – although on PMA fence • Reid M for his amusing hyper antics during rafting time and keeping his dad, John M, in his place • Grant M for his amusing facial gestures during countless hours of boarding • Donald and Eddie for filling the shot ski • Everyone for being awesome – minus the grumpy boat launch guy • Why not, thanks grumpy boat launch guy for some good drama/stories • My wife for the weekend pass Missions accomplished: • Multiple Wakeboarding sessions • Solemn skiing on the “Big Daddy” • Sky Ski session • First time barefooting ever off boom – Thanks to Tim B, Jackie D, Adam D for the help • Lose of wedding ring in barefoot process, see new life rule number 2 • First Wakeskate session ever – thanks to Tim D for use of board • Body surfed shot ski due to inability to get up on it – may not be official but I feel good about it • Argued about physics with Tim B – upon further research he was closer right then me, however I will not admit defeat, see modest comment in first paragraph • Had some moonshine, I think? This is kinda blurry, see new life rule number 1 and maybe number 3 New life rules - to add to my always growing list 1. Never drink anything that is brought to a party in a mason jar. - I did smack my grandmother, JK 2. Remove jewelry prior to hanging onto a bar attached to the side a boat going 38MPH and a brain jostling tumbling fall is eminent 3. Some people may not care that I went to camp as a child If I forgot to thank you for something it’s not because it wasn’t awesome it because so much was compressed into the weekend my head just about exploded trying to document it all. Thanks again Dan |

I didn't get any pics. He wouldn't leave it up long
Joe remembered to bring the top to White Lake Reid would always forget to give it to me when I was working for him those 3 or 4 days. So I've got the top now with me here in High Point. I'm going to come up with some kind of clamping system to go over the gunnels with the brackets mounted on them. instead of drilling holes in the boat.

Dan, Thanks for your list. It was amusing to read through. I wanted to post a big thank you to everyone also. I really enjoyed meeting you and that gives me one more reason to give major props to JoeinNY. Thanks again Joe for pulling my crew around the lake. The Murphy crew had a blast. No one wanted to leave. Did anyone get any shots or video of Grant wakeboarding? Like the good dad that I am, I didn't (eventhough I had a camera). |

I have been missing the picture post here… I guess I just had to look. As many have rightly said thanks to Townsend and the group at White lake for taking better care of us than they need to.. as always. Marty and his whole crew for the food, the cooking, and the pictures, Dave and Champagne for what was just an over and above amount of great food. Reidp, Laurie, and Nautique John for putting up with me, dan, truck, and boat over in charlotte over the two reunions. Me and Dan had a great time, more than enough watersports to wear a out my hands and keep me sore for a few days, and a good amount of time to hang out and a little bit of drooling over boats thrown in. Other than one wedding ring making its way to the bottom of the lake it was a perfect weekend. Well that and I couldn’t get up on the shot ski.. I think I need to spend a little more time on the d*ck pope’s this summer.. concave bottoms and dual bindings are making me soft. Adam – don't forget the video of Jackie’s bomb out when you get back.. Jackie – let’s have that address I have a couple carbs to send out to various people mid to late next week that I would like to group yours into. Looking forward to seeing a bunch of you again in about 6 weeks in Nashville. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1477 - 1983 Ski Nautique 2001 1967 Mustang 302 "Decoy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cO5MkcBXBBs - Holeshot Video |

I'm not advocating a non-original top on that boat. Period correct or not, the only way that thing would look good is if it were sitting at the bottom of the lake! I am convinced that the only reason that Reid puts it on is to get a rise out of me. ------------- |

Sell sheet showing optional folding top:  Picture of optional top on San Juan:  BTW, I installed several of the Taylor made tops on CC's back in my days at Watercraft. The tops came from CC since they were sized by the the boat and it's windshield. ------------- /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 < |

I think those old tops could look pretty good. The blue boat above isnt bad, and the San Juan ad above is ok, too. Here is Todds BFN.  Our old woody outboard had one that looked good and what was nice about that one, there was a fold open cover between the dash and windshield that it folded neatly down into, completely out of sight, when down. Like said above, I guess I like them (even more than today's biminis (although I know they have purpose especially in hotter climes) but that is probably just a nostalgia thing. Not quite sure what's going on with Marty's, whether its cut to swing so high or if it can be flattened out with different mounting configuration, but (at least in my opinion) I'd like to see it flattened out a bit more. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

It was just a Mock-Up Guys. I just did a dry fit to see it on the boat. The legs are sitting on the step pads and the hooks are under the gunnels. It's not installed yet Don't ya'll do this too? Woodworking? Cut and fit, then nail and glue? Just waiting on some measurements and maybe pics from Bruce where the mounting brackets go. ------------- 66 Skylark http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5041" rel="nofollow - 93 SN If you're not living in NC, you're just camping out! |

Not picking, Marty. Knew it was a "work in progress" March ahead. I am sure it will look cool when done. As I said, I like those kinds of tops. It's just the kids around here that don't remember them that don't get it. PS: I was down your way yesterday, blew though Greensboro about 7:00 on my way back to MA. Quick trip to NC, yeah I know, just missed WLM by a week. But I got to visit family, got the boat in and enjoyed the sun....along with a killer 26th anniversary dinner. I'll be at WLM next year and hopefully be hosting "Seven Lakes Beers" long before that. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

My uncle had an I/O growing up that had a big enclosed top on it... it was hideous too! Just because its old doesnt grant it a pass. I only own one boat thats younger than I am, and prefer to keep things looking original. Sometimes ugly is just plain ugly! ------------- |

| damn that bimini top looks awesome on the BFN. I wonder how hard it would be to do something similar on my 94... gives it more of a speed boat look. Bet its a pain to get in and under though. |

| I think they are cool now, which is a sign of my age, I guess, as well as I try to stay out of the sun these days. I'm partners with my sons in the Mustang and they out voted me on the top, so I was happy to see Marty get it. When I was a kid, I thought they were hiddeous and belonged on fishing boats, not inboards. They were pretty pricey according to the sales sheet. For the price of the top, our Mustang probably could have been upgraded to a V8! |
