has anyone done a rebuild/restoration on a small one? i just picked up a 75? 13 ft with a barely running 35 evinrude it is in desperate need of pretty much everything it needs all wood replaced, a front bow guard most fittings and will probably need soda blasting and a regel on the white. wow after typing this its sounds worse than it looks.. ------------- former skylark owner now a formula but I cant let this place go |

My neighbor redid one, but it was already is good shape, but it turned it into GREAT shape about five years ago. It is a sharp little boat. I hear they are highly desirable. His looks like a mini version of a larger high end center console Tee Top Boat. I am not sure what year, but likely late 80's. ------------- 1980 Ski Nautique SOLD Back to Cypress Gardens 2002 Sport Nautique, GT-40, FCT2, Cover Sports, Tower Bimini, Inc., Wet Sounds Audio System, Star Gazer Wake Edition S. 1968 Ski Nautique, Project. |

Yep, link works (LLS). Used Whalers command big bucks in the northeast. Even the junkers. |

Al and Peter, Mark as Tim mentions, is "Laurel Lake Skier" . He's been with us for many years. I don't understand why the link doesn't work for yourselves?? Look for him in the memberlist under his screen name. http://www.correctcraftfan.com/forum/member_profile.asp?PF=2173" rel="nofollow - Link to mark again ------------- /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 < |

It is now but was not soon after he posted  one of my neighbors in Florida won one in a hospital fund raiser. I think it has a 40 hp Merc, not much longer than wide!------------- 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 |

As Pete said, I've got a couple of Whalers along with my inboard. Since its easy to trailer, the 15' has made a couple of trips to Green Lake for reunions. I've refinished the wood and rebuilt interior parts in both of the boats. I need to get after the 15' again.....maybe a winter project. If you're looking for info on Whalers, here's a http://continuouswave.com/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi?action=intro" rel="nofollow - Link to Whaler specific forum that should put you in touch with some pretty good info and other contacts. Taking a look through my files and can only find a photo of the 17' - here it is.  ------------- The world is full of youth—what we need is a fountain of smart! |
