I have 2 Correct Craft trailers, one #2 and one #3 for sale. Both need to be restored, but are solid, original CC trailers. Both are late 60's/early 70's vintage. The #2 is the appropriate trailer for the smaller 16' boats (Skier/Mustang/Mustang 16/American Skier/Skylark/Tahoe/etc). The #3 originally came under the 17-18' boats (Ski Nautique/Mustang 17/Martinique/etc). Some boats like the Barracuda and Classic might fit on either size. I am heading from CT to IL next month (mid Oct) with an empty hitch, and could assist with delivery in that direction. Please email me for pictures and more information: TRBenj@gmail.com |

Since everyone loves pictures... These are the trailers in question. #2:  #3:  Please email me for more information if youre interested. I have recently acquired a '83 #3 (originally came under a 2001) and interestingly, the frame is the same size as the older #3 I am selling here- so Ski Nautiques as new as 1989 will physically fit on the trailer. |

So will this be a drive by or might you be able to hook up with the gang for a few beers? ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

| That #2's been around. The #3 looks pretty nice. |

Ha, I figured you'd like that Bruce. With the newest pending acquisition, we'll have an extra #2 trailer around so one has to go! HW, the brown you see is patina... the white paint is flaking. Both are a little rough around the edges, but very much restorable. Certainly in no worse condition than the one that came under my Ski Tique, which cleaned up nicely. Before:  After:

John, Thanks for your interest in the Tique, but I wanted bring the BBBBII for the footers and the Classic for. Riley. Only a few more 200 mile roundtrips, and I'll have the whole fleet there. I brought the Tique in 2012 and not much had changed since, but some times it is like a guy with two watches. He never knows what time it is. Thanks for being there with your family. I think we all had SOME FUN!! Looking forward to next year. Todd ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4811" rel="nofollow - '78 Ski Tique |

Tim, I'm perfectly fine with you selling the "Classic" trailer to someone else and apologize for not getting back to you, sooner. It really needs lots of work and my current trailer fits well, although not a CC trailer. I would use it (refurbished) to bring the Classic to the Florida reunion in March, and time to rebuild it and paint between now and then is tight. But either way, if you have a buyer, let it go. Let me know. UT ------------- http://correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=4811" rel="nofollow - '78 Ski Tique |

I apologize to anyone who inquired about these trailers... turns out the deal I had made back in Oct appears to be headed south. Strung along by another member for 6+ months, lesson learned.  Anyways, trailers are still available! Please email me for details- I'd like to find these a new home and clear up some space.

| We might be interested in the #3. I'll talk to Dave. Are you still interested in that $100 trailer we have? And don't forget you paid for a #2 that's up here. |

| Ha, I think I know what youre thinking Bruce- let me know. And yes, I owe you $100 and plan to grab both #2's up your way... those factored into my decision to sell these ones. |

| Tim, It's all John's. We're going Boatmate. |

Oh man Bruce... Those boatmates break my heart! John (and Wayne), the #3 I have listed above is a '74. I have confirmed that it shares the same frame dimensions with the '83 #3 that I have (which came under a 2001), so it will physically fit the boat. Of course, it predates the "delux" features that CC added to the #3 in '84, like the diamond plate steps and prop guard. It also has the standard 3500lb gear on it (14" wheels, 5-lug hubs) where CC went to 5k lb stuff in '86 (6-lugs, 15"). No brakes either (standard starting in '88). CC trailers were arguably overbuilt with the 5k lb gear, as most other trailers for comparable sized boats still employ the 3500lb stuff, but it's worth mentioning. I do have a few other trailers that I could maybe shuffle around, but ideally, this is the one of the bunch I'd like to see go. |

I'd like to get a CC trailer under the '87, I guess I should look more for a trailer that's the same age as the boat..... Thanks Tim! Let me know if you need a hand haulin trailers or a place to drop store. John ------------- Old school goin back to school! |

John, thanks- will do! Outside chance I could rearrange trailers and get you what you're looking for... If that turns out to be in the cards, I'll let you know! Darren, I'll send you a PM. |

Understandable, guys. Like I said, theres an outside chance that I could shuffle trailers around and end up with an "extra" 2001 trailer... will let you know of that transpires. Sale pending on the #2. #3 still available! I may be able to assist with delivery... doesnt hurt to ask. |

My heart breaks when we load the boat and it falls off the bunks and chips/scratches the chines/ hull. Boat mate sounds like the best solution to me unless we can modify the #3! |
Posted By: TRBenj
Date Posted: March-14-2014 at 7:43pm
I had the conversation with your father about this already, but I think the problem stems from the fact that you have a 3-DV, not a regular #3. One of the biggest differences is the shape of the frame, where the bunks run perfectly parallel instead of tapering together like a #3 would. That allowed the v-hull boats to sit on the 3-DV without their lifting strakes crossing a bunk (a recipe for hull damage). It took me a long time to notice the difference, which is pretty subtle unless you look closely. I think the result is a wider bunk width towards the front, which exacerbates your loading problems. A regular #3 or even a #2 would probably solve them, is my guess. An additional set of center bunks to facilitate loading might also be a solution! Those Boatmates look nice... but nowhere near as nice as an original CC trailer thats been properly restored. Your 3-dv is beautiful. |

Sorry guys, Which boat isn't fitting its trailer? Thanks Tim! I'll keep following the posts! ------------- Old school goin back to school! |

John, their Barracuda doesn't load nicely on the 3-DV trailer that they painstakingly restored. Its partly my fault, I had seen smaller boats fit on that trailer without any problems that I was aware of at the time, and endorsed the pair. Turns out the bunks stay a bit wider than a #2 or #3 that was typically found under the cuda, which makes it difficult to load at the ramp. Just so the info is on the current page, I'll restate: Sale pending on the #2. #3 still available. Assistance with delivery may be possible- doesn't hurt to ask! Trbenj@gmail.com |

I should have looked at the pictures in the brochures, but it looked like a regular #3 to me too with the exception of the blocks for height. Still, we had a good trip going over west NH to get it and came back with a smokin' hot deal on a sail boat to boot. |
Posted By: JDD33
Date Posted: March-16-2014 at 1:44pm
Maybe that 3DV would fit nicely under a BFN..... Know anyone that has one?  Bruce, you and your family seem to be a magnet for boat deals! Let's see... The Benjamin's have CT, NY, and MA locked up, the Harts have ME,NH and VT under control..... So that leaves the rest of us with..... ah...... RI !!! Oh Great!

Ha, that was a smoking deal on that sailboat. It took some studying of our #4 a few years later to recognize the different frame shape- for a while I thought it was just the blocks that differentiated them as well. The 3-DV is really meant for a 16-18' boat, it came under the Torino/Separator and the Freeport/SW 18. I bet you could squeeze a 19' BFN on one though- just move the bowstop forward a bit. I'd like to compare a 3dv and a #4 side by side, I bet they're pretty similar. |

Bump... sale still pending on the #2. #3 still available. Would really like to see it go soon to clear the parking space for another project. I will make a CCFan a good deal on this trailer. Again, it will be period correct for the following years/models: All Ski Nautiques, Martiniques, Mustang 17/American Skier (17), Wildcat/Marauder/Sportsman/Riviera (17-19'), and Barracuda through 1976. Possibly others (please ask!). It will also physically fit Ski Nautiques as late as '89, 1982-1984 Ski Tiques and Martiniques through '78, possibly others. Basically, any 17-19' non-vee hulled Correct Craft. TRBenj@gmail.com |

I have a Barracuda and for a while was using a DV trailer without success. There was one time I was trying to load the boat on a windy day and just could not do it. That day I got some damage in the fiberglass. Also, while trailing the boat you had to constantly look out your rearview mirrors to check to see if the boat was falling off. I have since replaced with a #3 trailer. Nightmare is over. I have attached pictures of the same boat with both trailers. Frydaddy    ------------- Frydaddy |
