Except for the mastercraft guide on covers that thing is awesome. ------------- For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats. 1987 Ski Nautique |

Isn't that the boat the guy just painted/restored on this website? I bet he borrowed a trailer from another boat for the show. If he spent that much time on it he couldn't bare to see it on a masterturd trailer ------------- |

Yes it is haha! The more beer you drink the further you want to push that tap down. ------------- |

You are correct, the trailer was borrowed. I have the original tore down and in the process of restoring it. We are considering bringing the boat back for the reunion but this time we will use a different trailer.

I see the exhausts have been changed assuming it's a Holman Moody or has that been changed too? You did a beautiful job ------------- 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 |

| Thanks. The exhaust manifolds are not original but the motor is. All other H&M parts appear to be there. |

Is that a flame arrestor or a paper filter? ------------- Tim D |

I spotted it as well. If you go back into Gregg's restoration thread, I believe the comment about having a USCG flame arrestor was made. In fact it may have even been me! BTW, I'm sorry to see he did not use the correct floor covering in his "restoration".  It should have been the vinyl wall covering or at least the Nautalex which is close. ------------- /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 < |

| Greg, I agree with everyone, your boat looks great. Now the funny part. My wife got back from the Parade of Homes and was telling me about this beautiful house she saw with a boat bar and other nautical items in it. I looked at the Parade book and saw your picture as the builder and said thats the guy with the Seperator that was at the boat show! Nice job on both. Hope you bring the boat to the Lake James mini so other people can enjoy it. John |

| Thanks! Both boats have gotten a lot oof attention. I would like to bring the boat over to lake james again this weekend but the parade of homes is Thursday-Sunday noon - 6:00 again this week and I will have to work most of the time. I may try to get someone to cover for me on Friday. If so my wife and I will come over if there is something going on then. Do you know if there is a show or anything at Bledsoes Beach? |

Well, I bet that Gregg is just heart broken that his boat does not meet with PBra-hole's satisfaction or expectations.

Very heartbroken. A little irritating to see his "restoration” comment. I did a complete QUALITY restoration. No shortcuts! I know there are others as good and I applaud their hard work. I know they are out there but would find it hard to believe there are too many others that would have a better fit & finish than this one. Did use a few modifications like stripes lettering, carpet, mahogany dash, etc but all of these can be removed easily and won’t hurt the integrity of this boat. I feel the changes look good and have had many good comments. |

Dude, you join the site yesterday and with your first post you are going to introduce yourself by busting on one of the most knowledgable guys here (other then Art) and on a thread that doesn't even apply to you. NOT too bright in my book and a Heck-a-va way to introduce yourself to site with whom you may need help from in the future. I know Pete personally and would not hesitate one minute to call him with questions about something I wasn't sure about. (already have several times). He may come across to those of you who don't know him (such as yourself) as a cross old man but that's just how Pete is made. He is a perfectionist and if he had his way; EVERY boat on here would be back to its 'original' state. That's just Pete! Of course you would know that already if you spent anytime here. I would suggest you give him the respect he has EARNED by being a member here and not some newbie crawling out from a rock somewhere. Gregg the boat looks fabulous man other then that MC trailer it's sitting on I look forward to the day I get a chance to drive/ride in her. WELCOME to the Red Boat Owners Club! You should know by now that you don't mind Pete too much! Many here have popped a few beers with Pete, had a laff with the man, give him grief over his monogramed shirts he never runs out of and he still calls us his CC Family even though MOST of us don't have our boats original.... Numerous times at a reunion you'll hear..." Ahhhhh, It's just Pete!" ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.

Gregg, certainly hope to see you and the Red Rocket at Lake James, really hoping Connorson and one of his Separator's shows up as well. He generally has a pretty keen radar for any thread about a Separator. |
