Does anyone know of a 60's CC with Yucatan Yellow hull color? Ive been thinking about that for the 'cuda I just bought. (you can see the color in the 66 and 68 literature)
I see a Mustang in the diaries in Mi , but dont know the guy and his email didnt go thru.... Id really like to look at a boat in person sometime, but good pic would even help... ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1117&sort=&pagenum=6" rel="nofollow - 64 American Skier 62 Classic.. 73 Ski Nautique |

Steve, I know of one up north but will not get up there untill Christmas to get in the storage shed at Watercraft to take some pictures. The Yucatan yellow is a brighter yellow (not as brown) as in the ref section. ------------- /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 < |

Pete,
I was looking in the 68 Ref section... There is a Cuda pic there, but Im wondering if it is too dark? ... 
Also a pic of a Mustang... This looks lighter...maybe closer to actual color?

I concur with Pete. The Barracuda is a bit golder than the actual color. The smaller lower pictures are closer to the real color. We had a 66 Yucatan Mustang.
(photo from 1972) Even in this picture the yellow is coming across just a bit golder than the actual color. I'd say the two lower shots of the Barracude in the brochure are pretty close. Even tho we had the whole boat yellow, I always liked the looks of the white deck. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

I'm with you guys on the white deck for sure!...but Pete, as for original, wasnt solid color standard?
Weird thing is in the 66 literature the two-tone boats shown have colored decks with white hulls... what gives?... did they also do the "reversed" option, like the 68 pics show? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1117&sort=&pagenum=6" rel="nofollow - 64 American Skier 62 Classic.. 73 Ski Nautique |

66 & 67 boats were solid color. They started the solid hull and white decks in 1968.
IMHO, Yucatan yellow is not a hot color for a hot boat like a Barracuda. |

Steve, You're correct that the 66 lit shows all solid color decks and hull with the exception of the Nautique that had the reverse. What is the original color of your deck? Has it been painted the white? ------------- /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 < |

Pete,
The original color was Mahogany..kind of maroon looking...doing it in that color is still not out of the picture,just lots of them made that color..... just looking for something a little different? Someone did a nasty midnight blue paint job along the way...not sure where the white came from? 
Riley, what color would you do? (really would like to keep one of the original 66's color if poss.) ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1117&sort=&pagenum=6" rel="nofollow - 64 American Skier 62 Classic.. 73 Ski Nautique |

We should start a new thread on this subject.........
My vote is to leave as is, the spots are unique and tacky,and will make it easy to spot on the lake. The mustard yellow is my pick,the deck can go either way....... Don't know why the hype or rush on colors,it will be several years before that part of the puzzle comes together.........LOL Offer still stands Steve,you need the room for the wooden boat............ ------------- boat dr /diaries/details.asp?ID=4631 - 1949 Dart /diaries/details.asp?ID=1533 - 1964 American Skier |

| 62, where yours is a 66, (must be an early 66 because it doesn't have vents in the hood scoop), I would paint it a solid color. I know what you mean about maroon. Just about every Barracuda I have ever seen was marroon. I think that boat would look good in bright red. If you look at the cover of the 66 brochure, there are two Barracudas on it. One is marroon and the other is probably tangerine, but it looks red in the picture, and I have always thought that that particular boat was the best looking Barracuda that I have ever seen. My families boat that is in the diaries section was marroon, but the deck was painted fire engine red. I always wished the whole boat was that color. |

Tim,
Ive thought of the tangerine as my second choice... but it seems like more of a70's color? I do like it tho.. Is this boat tangerine? 
As for the color red, everyone would think I was a southern swamp-"Billy" 
Actually ANY of the 60's hull look great in red, but my 64 is trimmed in red... ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1117&sort=&pagenum=6" rel="nofollow - 64 American Skier 62 Classic.. 73 Ski Nautique |

Here is a friend of mine's 66 Wildcat. I took thses pics this past Labor Day weekend. The boat has been painted, but they mathced the original color really well. I've know this boat since about 1970, and it has always been a great looking boat.

So, we now have a new color of red called "southern swamp"?? I'm glad I didn't come up with the idea. I'd hate to have the wrath of the south come down on me!
I don't think the Tangerine is too 70's. I'll never forget the day I was at Watercaft when I believe it was Ralph Meloon showed up with a all Tangerine Mustang. It was the late 60's and he was on tour visiting all his dealers. This Mustang did NOT have a stock engine in it (I wish I remembered what was in it!) and he took me for a ride that scared the hell out of me!! As a kid in my early teens, it was very impressive to say the least. No wonder I didn't remember what engine it had. That all Tangerine Mustang stuck in my mine for years. Probably until the Seperator came out. ------------- /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 < |

From a personality standpoint, I can most easily see Steve in either the buckskin or champagne color. Not really of course, but how about that Jade that Tim mentioned, or even better yet in my opinion, the rich looking Turquoise. You don't see many of those around and it was a hot color on two tone cars and pick-ups of the era. White deck and turquoise seats piped in white, yes sir buddy. ------------- ReidP /diaries/details.asp?ID=231&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 1973 Mustang |

Im not sure,the Jade sure looks greener. Thats what the problem is when trying to decide from pics or computer screens... colors vary a lot... Would be great to see actual boats! Riley, Im pretty sure the wind wings on my 64 are the original "plastic" (plexi/lexan?) The ones on the cuda are just setting there right now,but the vents look to have been poorly cut out of plexi-glass. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1117&sort=&pagenum=6" rel="nofollow - 64 American Skier 62 Classic.. 73 Ski Nautique |

62 wood:
If you're going to go through all the work of painting the boat, why not go CUSTOM? Let's start with the name. It is a Barracuda, so some sharp ass teeth will definitely be needed up near the bow. Stripes: It is also an SS model. Racing stripes are a must, not only on the deck but why not wrap them all the way around the hull too while you got the brush out? Flames: Any and all hardware bolted on needs a few flames coming off for effect. Vents, cleats, exhaust outlets! Graphics: Give the boat an "updated" look with some new AIR NAUTIQUE graphics. They will compliment the tower well and solidify it's wakeboarding status. Trim: Get a roll of gold pinstriping and go to town! You can't use too much, chances are you'll end up short. When in doubt, put on extra. Wing-dings are good for breaking up open/plain areas. Outline anything that doesn't have flames coming off of it. Dress up the prop and underwater gear. That's all I got off the top of my head. Don't forget to buy some stickers off ebay for the windshield to advertise hot parts. Good Luck, can't wait to see the finished project! ------------- |

Good job Tim, and yes, it certainly looks like the turquoise there. Can you post the Freeport pict beside the color chart as well. This 66 Amer Skier below we've been sorta working on from time to time I thought was some shade of Aqua that doesn't even exist and that it's obviously turq. I was hoping the turq was a little more blue which that Freeport appears to be. Oh well. I think I withdraw my choice of the turquoise. I like it but don't love it for the SS.  ------------- ReidP /diaries/details.asp?ID=231&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 1973 Mustang |

I just showed her the orange 66 Wildcat Riley had posted from the diaries earlier in the post. We were originally concerned it looked too 70's ( I used to have a 70 Hugger Orange Camaro - one of my favorite cars)...but they DID offer the Tangerine in 66.... also like the entire hull and deck the same. btw , we have a "little" more convincing to do to get in her pocketbook..  ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1117&sort=&pagenum=6" rel="nofollow - 64 American Skier 62 Classic.. 73 Ski Nautique |

62 wood ...... There is a 67 Mustang, Yucatan yellow, here in NC. It is on Lake Tillery, near me. ALL ORIGINAL, perfect condition, hanging in a boathouse and still driven by the man that took delivery at the plant in 1967. It still has the protective clear plastic covering on the interior parts of the boat.....the storage on the sides. I am going to try to help the owner get it in the diaries section before November. He has a neat story behind his ordering the boat and taking delivery!

Which color Freeport are you referring to? Theres none in the '66 brochure and no turquoise Freeports that I could find in any of them. Im not a huge fan of the turquoise either, especially on an SS. Something bright would look good on one of those boats- Id say tangerine is a good choice. ------------- |

Steve, I see that Pam likes the tangerine. That's my choice at this point but with the off white deck. (optional in 66 - I checked!) I really like the decks in off white off that era plus it tones down the tangerine somewhat. I have a friend with that on a cuda with the buckets. Always liked the boat.
Sounds like you are going to be painting and not gelling. Ether way, the tangerine or red will be more expensive due to the pigment cost. Now if Pam really wants the color, you have a excuse to ask her to open her purse up!!! ------------- /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 < |

Pete,
Is your friends cuda Tangerine with a white deck? What color is his interior? Any pics? And, Im not sure which way to go, between paint and gel yet, lots of homework to do before final decision... but I'm actually kinda leaning towards the gel as of now. ... Either way a paint sample is a good way to start. GO ORANGE!!!!

First look back again at the "66 Brochure", then "Exciting Line of Correct Crafts (3)", then bottom of page, then new eye glasses. If there was a hot 20 yr old in a turquoise two piece, I guarantee you'd have seen it the first time. Anyway, it looks blue-er there. But if there's anything I like as much or more than blue, it's orange, and esp when a woman's buying! ------------- ReidP /diaries/details.asp?ID=231&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 1973 Mustang |

It does have the white deck. It is I believe a 69 or 70 and is not the SS. I don't remember ever seeing any SS's sold by our dealer up there, Watercraft Sales. The interior is that real light beige with the same color piping. I'll see if I can get into their boathouse when I'm up north next which won't be until Christmas. I don't think the style of the interior will be exactly the same as the 66. I think the 66 would of had just the padded upholstered side panels (hardboard inside) without the fake trapizoid side pockets that may have been added in 68. The floor and the base (as in shoe) would have been the same. The actual seats in the 66 were plain white I beleive. ------------- /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 < |

Pete,
It sounds a lot like the one I posted on the first page of this topic?
I like it, but I dont think the beige interior is for me... If I did a white deck, I think an orange interior with white piping/accents? .... or maybe white interior,orange piping and orange engine cover? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1117&sort=&pagenum=6" rel="nofollow - 64 American Skier 62 Classic.. 73 Ski Nautique |

Yeah Larry,
I kinda like all one color hull with the white interior... With a white deck ,I think I would want more orange in the interior,with white piping / accents. Could be hard to match "oranges"? Pete, Whats a dreamsikle? ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1117&sort=&pagenum=6" rel="nofollow - 64 American Skier 62 Classic.. 73 Ski Nautique |

Just a little play on words, the orange mustang is referred to as "creamsicle" in the diaries. ------------- _____________ “So, how was your weekend?” “Well, let me see…sun burn, stiff neck, screwed up back, assorted aches and pains….yup, my weekend was great, thanks for asking.” |

"So what's the difference between a Creamsicle and a Dreamsicle? The sherbet-like shell of the Creamsicle is identical to that of the Dreamsicle, but the payoff inside is ice cream in the former, ice milk in the latter. The difference in price, last time I checked, was about a nickel." ------------- |

| 62, my friend with the Wildcat called last night to tell me that the paint can is at a boat shop that is doing fiberglass work to the wildcat. I'm trying to contact the shop to get the brand/code. Hopefully, it's on the can. |

Wow HW, You sure came up with a good explanation for my stupid mistake! I did mean Creamsicle! I'm however glad to here that there is a Dreamsicle imitation of a Creamsicle! ------------- /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 < |

Steve,
I just spoke with the guy at the FG repair shop. He is interested in finding more paint, so if you have any luck, let me know. What the can reads: Nason Full-Thane 2K urathane 6282IB Car/National/Fleet Red No paint code. |

Bruce,
I just checked with the place I get some of my auto paint from. According to them,Nason is DuPont's economy line of paint. He couldnt come up with any reference to that number in his computer tho. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=1117&sort=&pagenum=6" rel="nofollow - 64 American Skier 62 Classic.. 73 Ski Nautique |
