I need a strut assy, rudder and maybe the rudder housing, they will be the hardest to find. I will also need a shaft and a prop.
I was having great time on the mississippi river...............................then there was a bang a clunk and a very very ...bad vibration. I just hoped that the boat didn't sink as fast as my spirits. Luckily I was close to the ramp and no one was hurt. Once on the trailer, the damage was easily apparent. It needed the complete under water running gear. There was also a crack in the hull next to the strut about a foot long. Also there was damage in the fiberglass around the the rudder. Needles to say it was a long, quiet, sickenly trip home.
I have insurance but I hope I can fix the boat, even if they deside to total the boat. luckily I work part time for Hartwick Marina on lake Delhi, Iowa that has been a Correct Craft dealer since 1965 and is the go to marina for inboard ski boats. I will have quite the story to tell them come monday, but sadly a story they have heard.
I hope all the bad news is behind me. I will try to be positive.
Have a great day!
