Gary, Welcome to CCfan. You found the place for anything regarding your 70! How about some pictures. We'd love to see the boat. ------------- /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 < |

That ladder may be tough to find if it was specific to CC... But if the hardware is generic, I bet it wouldn't be too hard to recreate one. My cousin has a ladder on his '68, I'll see if he can take some pictures and measurements. Kudos for considering a ladder instead of a non-original platform! I'll echo Pete's sentiment, show us some pictures... I love the late 1st gen Mustangs. |

Tim, Ya know how on the Mustang it has the line that dips around the CC logos on the side. That line carries around to the transom right, giving the transom a two plane surface? Idk how to say it, if I was on a computer I'd post a pic of what I mean. I can imagine that'd throw a ratchet in his choice of a ladder. I do know CC used a generic ladder at some point that looks to be a fit-all for CC's as well specifics. |

No, shouldn't be a problem. Yes, the transom line does follow around from the sides, but attaching a ladder is not a problem. Depending on where the top leg makes contact, you just shorten the tubes and reattached the bracket to take up the "bump" difference..  ------------- 05' SV211 TE 73' Martinique had:96' SNOB had:76' Nautique had 77 Tique |

Gary, We see boats in all conditions so don't be bashful! (some that are even pretty hacked too) Since you mentioned it needs work, how are the stringers?With pictures it's easy.

Very cool boat, poly 318 IIRC. A few people has their eyes on it this last fall. It's no newer than an early 68, more likely a 67 (possibly an early 67 based on the poly). |

| I would think Marty's 3 stepper will work. Just shorten it to fit and plug the tubing holes. Will the rope guard survive the ladder? |

It will survive if your careful and you will be,the guard is much like a vegetable peeler once you scrape yourself you won't forget  I personally would not put one on Gary,and have been thinking about removing mine,I think it ruins the look of the boat. It's not easy getting your foot chest or shoulder high because the lowest step has to be higher up than the bottom of the boat.It's like floating on your back with your feet against the edge swim platform bringing your knees to your chest and pulling yourself up with a rope. Think some sort of rope ladder,one thats longer down into the water.  ------------- 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 |

I have a number of 68-70 mustang hull numbers recorded and yours is about 170 boats older than the oldest I have, which are very early 68's. I'd say you have an early '67, which is consistent with the Poly... Later 67's got the LM/LA chryslers. The mustangs I've seen with original ladders did not come with clearance bars. |

| What a nice boat. Just like the boat in the '66 brochure. It must fly with that poly. Our early '66, (3/10/1966),is M1839. |

Hey Scootdogydog, That ladder is perfect, for my boat, but is the image accurate? It looks like the deck mounted hardware looks corroded. Thanks, ------------- aw380 |
Posted By: TRBenj
Date Posted: February-28-2015 at 12:01pm

Not sure I'm following- that is the ladder I mentioned earlier from his 68 stang (scoot is my cousin). Not sure what impact any corrosion would have on the dimensions he provided, but It's actually in great shape (minus the teak steps), maybe just a little dirty. The dimensions and picture were meant to assist you in finding the hardware (it is likely to have been generic, and very possibly still available) and recreate the rails yourself. I think it would be a pretty straightforward project. I'm certain his ladder isn't for sale, if that's what you were thinking. Check the link I posted though- that early 70's ladder listed last fall appears to be a match, if it's still available. |

| You might want to go to Green Lake and try out Gary Starr's ladder before you commit to installing one on your boat. As Gary said earlier, they're not that easy to use for everyone. |

And holes are permanent. It's easy for me to say but with what I know now I would not do it.

I think it's a great idea as yes it does take away a lot on the way of looks with that thing on. Besides, I won't have to do it myself and fill the holes when you sell the boat to me (like you pinkie promised) cause it's too loud! ------------- "Morfoot; He can ski.
