Paul, I assume you're looking for the white faced Airguide wih kph on the outside? JMurph made some faces up for those so you can make a newer (more common) speedo look period correct. Not cheap, but there's a steering wheel on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/290740321497" rel="nofollow - http://www.ebay.com/itm/290740321497 Gary, the '71 promo was in the cover of the brochure that year- yellow boat with cursive lettering.

D'oh, I meant the wheel Tim. Hard to look for something when you don't know what it is  There are 2 kinds of those,the ones originally on mine and Johns SS were chromed steel,the one I have now(found on ebay) is stainless and that one you refer to looks stainless too. They don't come up very often.------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1711&sort=&pagenum=1&yrstart=1966&yrend=1970" rel="nofollow - 69 Mustang HM SS 95 Nautique Super Sport |

The steering wheel in the picture on ebay would be correct...but i think the original one(on mine) is black not wood(or fake wood)and stainles cross bars with circle pattern. Tim, You are correct...KPH on the outside MPH on the inside...white face... i will post some pics of it if i can figure out how to do it....it's been a while since i have posted pics.! ------------- 1963 Classic (handed down to my daughter) 67 Riviera 68 barracuda 1971 Ski Nautique Promo 86 Silver Nautique 1995 Ski Nautique |

Paul, the black rimmed steering wheel wasnt used until '73. The wood one is correct. Here are the faces that JMurph has. Just find yourself a newer airguide with a black face and add this: http://correctcraftfan.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=19955&KW=&title=airguide-speedometer-faces-white-60s70s" rel="nofollow - 60's-70's white faces ------------- |

Paul, I'm with you on my red wheel... "some" on the site are not as excited about it tho.  Altho the original owner swears that wheeel was on the 73, I would not judge it as what you need. My 73 has a couple of "unexplained" options that do not show on the literature that year. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1117&sort=&pagenum=6" rel="nofollow - 64 American Skier 62 Classic.. 73 Ski Nautique |

Yep, all the woodgrained wheels do (check the ebay one closely). The black rimmed wheels have slots (2 slots on the larger ones used '73-77 and 1 slot on the smaller diameter wheels used '78-84). The first SN they showed up on were the red/white/blue '73's though. Prior to that would have gotten the wood grained wheels (like the orange '72 promos), or less common, the white plastic wheels used starting in ~'67. Id opt for the wood grain on an early 70's SN, personally. The ref section is down, but Id take a close look at the yellow boat in the '71 brochure. Steve, if that red flake wheel is original, then you must have a Cypress Gardens boat! Seriously though- you can get those metal flake wheels (in any color) on ebay. The previous owner is either mistaken, or it was an ultra super secret rare and valuable option!------------- |

Steve, if you ever get a chance to talk to Art Cozier I suggest you do so. In the many times we have talked in various places he always has a great CC story about something. He'll tell you that back in those days CC would go to great lengths to sell a boat and even customize one for the buyer if it meant that's what it took to seal the deal. If the owner says it's original it might very well be. Art may or may not be able to confirm it but I know he'll tell you that it's very possible that it is. ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

Tim, Not to get off topic (too far ) I have spoken with Art, he and Reid found the dealer invoice for my 73. The original owner purchased the boat at a tournament in Ohio. He went with no plans to buy a boat. They were using the 73 as a tow boat, he fell in love with it and ended up trading his Mustang in on it. Part of the deal was CC was allowed to use it in two more tourneys. Anyway, Paul, do the gauges set in a wood panel? Also, I see your hour meter has the typical plasic lens clouding.

Back to the speedo's. Tim, (TRB, too many Tims) do you know if the original faces were the off white.... both Pauls and mine are no where near as bright as the repro faces. Is it just natural aging of the paper? And I do think my boat was probably a Cypress Gardens boat as well ... ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1117&sort=&pagenum=6" rel="nofollow - 64 American Skier 62 Classic.. 73 Ski Nautique |

Those speedos actually have plastic faces, so Im guessing they werent as UV resistant as the later metal faced ones. I do believe they were bright white originally... all of the reproductions Ive seen (both metal faces and vinyl overlays) have been done that way.

Paul, does the boat have 2 water pick ups or one? My '70 Stang (273) has 2 and Chris's '72 promo (318) has 1... cooling system set ups are similar but not the same. The engine looks great- but may have been repainted in a slightly different color? Reid knows what the original blue/green was. Great news on the vinyl- I assume you know that you need Nautolex Shark? JMurph's '72 just got some laid down, it looks awesome. Do you have the original aluminum trim to go between the floor boards? Joe or Chris located some in the original style if you dont. You gonna be able to clean up the hull sides (I assume they have carpet glue?)? Im surprised the boat doesnt have ski pockets... let us know if you find remnants of them having been there at some point when the carpet comes up! ------------- |

Thats part of the fun Paul That wheel on ebay is real nice.I paid with shipping about 120 for only the wheel. If you don't go that route I have another,but it has 2 small cracks and the color is faded. I'll get some pictures. Don I'm surprised you didn't catch Steve's Cypress Gardens comment.

Tim, I believe there is ony one water pick up....the boat has the original black side panels in it and they are perfect. I talked with Reid on engine paint and he is actually the one going to send me the vinyl. i assume it's the correct vinyl or Reid wouldn't have it or send it to me to put in this Promo boat. The floor in it is 3/4" plywood...i don't beleive that is correct size? and...there is no shaft access panel in the back(will be able to tell more when i take up the carpet)...Mojo can tell ya that the original owner said it didn't come with the access panel????not sure if that could be true or not??....i say NOT. With a little help from all you 70's guru's i should come up with everything to go back ALL original.....only time and money stand in the way. %20" rel="nofollow">  you can see the side panels here a little bit.

Side panels- now thats weird! Cant say Ive seen another SN with something like that. I thought they all got ski pockets or just had bare (splattered) gelcoat walls. I havent owned any boats built between '73 and '78, I cant speak to when the shaft access port was added- but it definitely wasnt there by '72- so youre original there. Reid knows the proper vinyl- youre in good hands! He's spent a lot of time helping JMurph get his '72 promo all spiffed up recently. So is it single or dual pick up, fellas? Honestly, neither would surprise me! ------------- |

Meh. I cant say Ive ever found them useful. Its not like the packing needs adjustment on a regular basis... and on the rare occasion you need to service it, its a lot easier to work on with that whole panel out of there. Ive never missed having them on my older boats. A big black port hole would stick out like a sore thumb against that new light colored vinyl! Just my 2 cents. ------------- |

Oh I wouldnt even consider making that panel non-removable- thats a must for being able to service things back there. I sure wouldnt want to be cutting the vinyl the first time I needed to get under there! The '71-72 Skiers Ive seen had that panel screwed down, but otherwise 100% removable (with the aluminum trim on the edges). I cant say Ive seen a SN from that same era with the original floor still in it... but I would be surprised if it werent set up the same. There were floor seams everywhere in these boats- fore and aft of the motorbox. CC must have been buying plywood in small pieces back then! ------------- |

Paul, PM me your address. I'll send you some faces for your speedos. Like Tim said, the original faces were printed on polystyrene and that is why they all look off-white or yellow. The ones I had printed, I actually had the shop add some pixels to the background so they wouldn't be too white. They look good in the boat. P.S. I may be able to dig up another Speedo for you. If anyone else out there needs any of the white faces, let me know. I'm glad to pass them along if they can be used. They are actually stickers, but I have just cut them out and laid them on the original faces and that has worked fine so far. It takes some patience, but it's nothing that any one of you couldn't complete with a minimal effort. |

Funny thing here guys. When identifying the hull number, Art confirms that the boat was ordered with a special black side panel interior, undermount glove box and a "Black" steering wheel.... Sounds like the wood wheel we thing should be in the boat, may not be the case at all. But if the black wheels that CC used from 73 to 80-whatever wern't around back then, could that be the original , possibly aftermarket, wheel in the boat???? Never seen anything like it...... Also, no mention of the ladder as an ordered option.. Moj' ------------- 05' SV211 TE 73' Martinique had:96' SNOB had:76' Nautique had 77 Tique |

...along with my black wheel.  While we're on the subject of originality, what's the deal with the speedometer mounts? My 72 came with the black plexi mount, but I'm seeing the same thing on Steve's and Paul's. I moved both airguides to what I thought was the original mounting locations but now I'm questioning that move.... ------------- |

Chris, All of the orange 72'Promo's I've seen have the woodgrain looking wheel on them, and for that red thing on Steve's boat, now I'm guessing you could get whatever you want back then.. On a 71' though, what was the standard wheel on a stock SN? I thought the black wheel wasn't really introduced till 73'??

i took off the black plexi so i can rebuild my guages and the original color is what i found underneath....yes Mine looks exactly the same as chris and steve's...i would guess it's original? Although there were holes and mounts where it looks like the guages were originally underneath the plexi???....here is the info that art pulled from the microfiche attached.. The engine was set on 6/1/71, which makes that the official birth date of the boat. The engine log lists 225 hp Chrysler engine, Model # LM318BWR10-366. Serial number is 3112378. The model number translates to a right-hand rotation 318 cu. in. with a Borg-Warner 1:1 transmission turning a right-hand propeller. I found the original invoice. It is dated 6/9/71 and lists the boat as Canary Yellow with black accent stripe and black racing stripe. It was shipped to Midwest Correct Craft in Angola, IN and was designated for Richard Manley, who was a sales rep for Midwest. I know him personally. The boat was intended as his demonstrator and was expected to be made available for use in ski tournaments as a promo boat. Options listed are: Three tournament speedometers, with the third one mounted on the motor box. Glass windshield (apparently the standard ones were plastic), black steering wheel, glove box, electric fuel gauge, hour meter, black interior panels, black and white upholstery with stern seating, a white floor mat, and lettering on the sides. thanks Art and Mojo for supplying this info for me!!! pretty cool to have!! ------------- 1963 Classic (handed down to my daughter) 67 Riviera 68 barracuda 1971 Ski Nautique Promo 86 Silver Nautique 1995 Ski Nautique |

I havent seen that slotted black wheel used on anything older than a '73. If there was in fact a black-rimmed wheel option in '71-72, my guess it would have looked like Chris's wheel. That at least has the same hub assembly as all the other Teleflex wheels that were being used at the time (including the wood rimmed wheel). The one on Paul's boat looks a lot more modern. Personally, Id be swapping out for a wood rimmed version regardless, as we KNOW that was period correct. Chris, the 2 plexi speedo mounts sure do look similar (yours and Paul's). Tough to say whether they were a real option (either factory or dealer) or not. Getting them up higher sure does make them more visible though, so its tough to say. If you found holes from the screws and tubing under that panel you had, then Im sure the speedos were mounted lower at some point. Thats how theyre shown in the '72 and '73 brochures... the plexi showed up in '74. It may have been a popular retrofit? ------------- |

Wow... just when I thought I knew everything about my 73. I had never noticed the speedos in the 73 brochures were still in the dash. The plexi another "oddity" in my 73? One big difference between my 73 and the two promos is the tach in mine is cut into the plexi, below the speedos. both promos have them in the dash. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1117&sort=&pagenum=6" rel="nofollow - 64 American Skier 62 Classic.. 73 Ski Nautique |

Just looked at other 73's in the diaries. Cant see in all cases, but a number of them do have the plexi mounts with tach below. Could have been a production change, after literaure was printed? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1117&sort=&pagenum=6" rel="nofollow - 64 American Skier 62 Classic.. 73 Ski Nautique |

Steve, The "Oddity" is the brochure boat. I'd say the correct wheel for Pauls would be like Storms. The sim. wood wheels were generally too big. I have several 3-hole per spoke wheels. I'd use Mojo's wheel until I could find a 4-hole. |

Paul, just a few corrections- I never saw that other yellow promo in person (I believe it was in KY)... just had the seller send pics. It was rough! Reid's yellow promo has a different wheel- not original, as its the late 70's/early 80's smaller teleflex. Still, 2/3 makes a pretty strong case that the wheel youve got is original.

Ok...Here we go....Took out floor and cartpet to replace it(correctly) and put in access panel(behind motor box)also install Nautolex shark grey vinyl to be period correct. Exhaust (at exit) is rotten to the point i'm supprised the boat didn't sink. Removed exhaust...guess what??? secondary stringers are shot....Didn't plan on this but now i have no choice but to do it right...So the journey begins. Already removed all the foam and rotten stringers.

OK, now I'm curious. Does the 312 refer to the hull number, or an engine? Perhaps your Classic has a 312 Interceptor in it? The SN HID should be 4 digits. The MoPar in the SN is a 318. Art ------------- "Art" |

Art, Paul seems to have added a picture of his newly acquired '71 SN to the diary entry he previously had dedicated to his 312 powered Classic. Confusing for sure! Paul, get a new diary going for the SN and change the one for your Classic back the way it should be, man! ------------- |

I would be interested in seeing what your Nautalex flooring looks like. I am looking for period-correct floor covering for Correct Craft's 1961 Ski Nautique and maybe that would do. Where did you get it? I don't think I saw anything like that on the Nautalex website. Art ------------- "Art" |
Posted By: TRBenj
Date Posted: April-19-2013 at 6:13pm
Art, here's a close up of the floor covering used in the early 70's compared to the Nautolex "Shark". Its the closest we've been able to find. Its what was installed in John Murphy's orange '72 promo SN if you got the chance to check it out at the SJRR a few weeks ago.
The stuff used in the 60's may have more of a weave pattern in it... but Im not sure anyone has positively identified the best modern replacement for it. Until someone does, the Nautolex isnt a bad option. Im tentatively planning to use it in my '67 SN. But, a lot of things could change by the time I finally get to it! ------------- |

Art, sorry to confuse. Yes as Tim stated it was a signature i used when i first came on the site. I have a 63 classic that i thought at the time was a 67 Classic (boat Title read 67)but it turns out it is a 63. I ordered the Nautolex shark grey vinyl from Defender. It looks good in Jmurphs Promo. Tim...Yes it WILL be at green Lake. i will get it done! i have been through all the stringer replacement forums and have a good idea of how to attack it. obviously it wont be as good or detailed as yours but will be structurally sound and tight! I know you probably would answer any questions i have though...right? oh also Tim....probably wont change my signature. people know who i am and i'm good with it just the way it is.

Thanks, TR. That looks good; I assume that the surface is grainy and non-slip. That can be a bit of a hassle in FL because the sand gets down into it easily and is hard to wash out. I kind of think that the '71s were offered with different options for floor covering when they were new. I recall a guy from IN who had one with black flooring. He brought one to FL one year, and five minutes in the noontime sun and you couldn't possible walk on it. Had to keep a bucket in the boat to throw water on the floor to cool it.
