I have a few parts specific to the Freeport/Soutwind available off of my '68 Freeport (18') parts donor. Per http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2757 - my diary I am mainly interested in selling the windshield and front hand rail. The glass is not in the greatest shape- there are some chips in the corners. The frame seems to be fine. The rail is in very nice shape. I plan to hold onto the remaining parts.
If there is any interest, please email me ASAP. I do not want to store these parts for long, and the hull is going to the landfill this week! My email is: TRBenj@gmail.com

Will the bow rail fit a 1988 Ski Nautique with a 351 Ford? ------------- |

No, you send me your bank account information. I send you twice the price, then you refund me half back.  ------------- |

Lets speed this up- banks take too long. Just mail me the cash and Ill send you back a check for half. Sound fair?
Seriously, if anyone wants these parts, you better speak up quick. Theres a good chance they'll be in the landfill by the weekend. ------------- |

Tim, don't put that boat in the land fill. That's like killing it. It's a Correct Craft. Better to have it hanging around the house because there is always the chance that someone, someday will restore it. Strip it, wash it and put it up on blocks in the corner of the yard. ------------- |

Bruce, I hear you- but this one has to go. I dont have a yard and my parents already have a backyard full of Correct Crafts. If you want it, its yours- come and get it! Otherwise, it goes to the landfill this week. ------------- |

A nice lawn ornament like that sure would help lower your property taxes Bruce... ------------- Former: http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=759" rel="nofollow - '86 Nautique http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=507" rel="nofollow - '65 Barracuda |

Tim did you know that if your boat falls of it's blocks and kills more than three dogs you just might be a redneck. ------------- You can’t change the wind but you can adjust your sails |

Bruce, sounds like youve got room for it. If you really want to save it, Ill give you the hull- including the windshield, handrail and rubrail for FREE if you can pick up and drop off the trailer before next weekend (3/22).
If thats something you would consider, let me know ASAP and I wont use a sawzall to remove the lifting rings. ------------- |

flip the hull and use it a pickup truck topper, or roof for a swim up bar ------------- |

Heck Tim- If the back yard is full, move it to the front & make a planter out of it! It is big enough you could even plant a tree in it & call it a Tree Nautique!  ------------- Greg http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2427&yrstart=1981&yrend=1985" rel="nofollow - 86 BFN |

Great tips guys, Ill give them some serious consideration...
...Yup, its still going to the dump! Bruce, if you decide to take it within the next hour, call Brad and tell him. Otherwise, Im cutting into it! ------------- |

Tim, That was never my favorite model or color, but how can you take a sawzall to it?
I've emailed a buddy. I'm giving it serious thought. ------------- |

Sorry Bruce, but as you can see, its too late. The sawzall made it much easier to remove the throttle, steering assembly, rudder port, etc. I guess it is a bit of a shame, but I didnt have a lot of options. Ive got no time to shop the hull around, and no place to store it. If it makes you feel better, the spirit of the boat will live on- the trailer will go under Brad's Mustang, a few misc bits of hardware will go on Nick's Skier (emblems, step pads, etc) and the running gear will end up on a boat that Larry plans to build someday. ------------- |

For the record, Tim is the bearded one sporting the terminator glasses (after sunset). The identity of the other NE Chopper will remain a secret for purpose of maintaining his reputation as a CC rescue-er. Let's just call him N**k...oh wait, that's too specific..how about Mr. N- yeah, that's better. ------------- Former: http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=759" rel="nofollow - '86 Nautique http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=507" rel="nofollow - '65 Barracuda |

The guy with the sawzall is N**k? Someone ought to photoshop that picture and put one of those black strips over his eyes.
At least the boat wasn't a SN, Mustang or Barracuda. ------------- |

Tim, first, I'm surprised you don't have the 18v DeWalt reciprocating saw. Second, I think it shows a certain level of maturity that although you love the boats so much, you still have the steadfast integrity to make the "big decisions" when they need to be made. Like a military commander sending his soldiers off to a mission that would mean certain death. You're all "growed up" now. ------------- 2000 SN GT40 w/99 Graphics/Gel 2016 SN 200 OB 5.3L DI https://forum.fifteenoff.com |

Bruce, Im insulted. Im much better looking than the clown holding the sawzall. 
Joel, we were borrowing Brad's tools- and I was very thankful for the corded dewalt! The keel was over 1" thick (we had to cut out the rudder port), so that thing would have chewed through batteries pretty quick. It probably helps that this was a Freeport- not my favorite CC. Love the olive green, but thats about it. If it were a Mustang, I probably would have tried to save it! ------------- |
