I'm building it. I'm looking for older models as well as new. Please include year and model with as many pictures as possible. I want to get this going ASAP.

Check my gallery- I have pics of older CC's as well as mine.

[Hollywood]

M3Fan, I got your photos. That's what I really need, the older ones that aren't easy to find on the net. I'll get through all your galleries eventually.

What other sites are out there for selling inboards? I've already gone through:

-boatraderonline
-flipsell
-iboats

This thing is gonna be HUGE

[mkcarte2]

hey man I sent you a HUGE email. I hope it goes through. I have literally a couple hundred pics, that I have been collecting off various websites, including boat trader, and flipsell the last couple of years.

If you don't already know. you can have Ebay email you as CC's come up for sale.

[Terminator]

When you do a search on Ebay if you will see a link for saving the search and from there you indicate if you wnt the results emailed to you. I've been a member a few years so it may not be available if you not a registered user.

Update:

I am 80% done with research, I think I've found everything there is to be found besides the 97+ SN's on www.boattraderonline.com. I maxed out my tools account that hosts the webpage today too. I was transferring all my files over (most bitmaps) and it stopped at 300 Mb. Once I crop the big ones and change them all over to Jpegs, I'll have plenty of room. I just wanted to let y'all know I haven't given up yet despite the swamp I'm still in.

Also, If anybody has any knowledge of specific design changes over the years(skinautique...looking in your direction), let me know, I'll be including this information along with all the pictures of various models/years.

It is a 1970 Correct Craft Wildcat.

tell me what years and models etc. you need help on and i will see what i can do

[Hollywood]

Nice find Jeff, I saw that gem on Ebay too the other day. I'm pretty deep with anything from the 80s on. The 60s/70s era I still don't have that much of. There were so many models and so much information I still don't know! CC is no help either, they don't have anything on file from the past.

I see you've committed yourself to one lake finally too. Finally settling down eh? Nice avatar too.

[skinautique]

The first Ski Nautique was produced in 1960 by Leo Bentz. In 1961, CC bought the molds and name, etc. They were also producing the American Skier at the time. I believe the Ski Nautique got their first hull change in 1965. The next came in 1970?? Look at the brief history on the home page and that will give you pretty good info there. I will work on digging up some pictures for you.

[seven20]

If you will be able to add, i can probably get you some pics on a '77, all original i very good shape that belongs to a guy on my lake. It will be a few weeks to a month before I can get them though...

[skinautique]

some more old ones for you.

On CC's website, they say Leo made the first SN in 58, but Walt didn't buy it until he returned in 61 again. So did CC start making the fiberglass CCs right away? I see they still made wood boats through the 60s, and haven't come across any 60s fiberglass "Ski Nautiques". I do notice though however that the Barracuda and Mustang were fiberglass in the 60s. I'm waiting for tryan to chime in here, he's the antique CC guru.

Thanks for the pics all, keep them coming. I've over 1200 files, mostly exterior, with a few interior of each year/model.

[M3Fan]

All Ski Nautiques are fiberglass- this is one of the reasons they weren't accepted right away. They made a boat called the Tournament Skiier which was an all-wood boat. Ski Nautique = Fiberglass, always. I have one of the early 60's brochures, and the SN is fiberglass there also.

All Ski Nautiques are fiberglass- Ski Nautique = Fiberglass, always.

Yes, I am aware of this, just haven't seen any from the 60s yet. Also, tryan refers to his '72 orange CC as a "separator" but it says "Ski Nautique" across the side.

[NautiqueJeff]

first nautique?

I have a magazine article from the late ' 70's that says earley '60's. no specific date, but 61 seems to be the concesus.

the guy running the swap meet both at the orlando secc reunion said he has all the brochures from all the years. does anybody know him? mr burgess?

hollywood, the orange beast is a ski nautique. my first cc was a separator that was made 71-72-73. it was the same 16' deep v hull as the torino.

Just moving this over from the other thread.

[tryan]

the earliest 'plastic' boats i have touched was a 63 starflite at a reunion in ohio. it was red.

there is a 63 'classic on boatrader.

i have no idea what year my starflite is. there are a few contradictions such as no oil filter. an option in 57 , but standard on 58-59. no raised section on the engine lid. no fins, ect.

i just drive it, shut up and go on.
