HELP! Need prop,rudder,strut for 85 advance

[ccspud]

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!

Spud,  sorry to hear the bad news...  As always talk to Ron & Dan for parts, advice, guidance, etc...  Especially structural FPR work and engine/shaft realignment once you get all the parts back together & installed.

Sent you a PM.  I have a good strut, came off the boat fine.  Needs new bearing installed and I will sandblast to clean it up.  Also have a rudder port but no rudder so I didn't try to pull it off yet.  Let me know.
