I am thinking about buying a 1978 Correct Craft Ski tique, My only hesitation right now, is I’m not sure how hard it will be to find replacement part for the older boat and engine, It is a Ford 302 4v engine
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks

Joby,
Depending on the color, the only thing that's tough to find is the original turf type carpet. Did someone tell you it would be an issue with parts or is just and assumption?
Welcome to CCfan. If you do get the boat, make sure you post pictures.

That engine was basically unchanged from 68 to 98
Browse correctcraftparts.com and skidim.com to see for yourself what is available
It's basically a non issue

Joby,
Check the stringer condition. I can safely say that there will be some rot. An alignment check would be good as well.
