Ski Nautique

Here is your opportunity to own a piece of history. In 1993 Correct Craft (Ski Nautique) created the limited edition Paragon. Correct Craft built 11 of these customized Paragons in 1993. 10 of them were green trimmed interior / exterior hull side and this is the only one in existence that has the wine-berry interior trim and exterior hull side.The boat is immaculate. It has been meticulously restored / maintained the exact way the factory delivered it. The same wood filler, stain, seal, varnish and brushes are what the manufacturer used to make the boat.In 2013 a new Boat Mate single axle trailer was purchased. It has a swing tongue, surge brakes and LED lights. It is specific to the running surface of the Paragon.This boat was customized for the original owner, who happened to be one of the founding family members of the Correct Craft boat company we all know and love. A few of the custom touches that are unique to this boat only are the wine-berry interior color theme, stereo (upgraded for 1993), gold trim, additional engine customization i.e. chrome, braided hoses and of course the boats hull-side exterior color. It is truly a one of a kind boat.Both (IL) titles for boat and trailer are free and clear. Also included is the original brochure and owners manual.A custom, over the rub-rail & swim platform snap-less cover is included. She's kept on a covered shore station in the summer and indoor winter storage.There is nothing wrong with the boat whatsoever. Everything works as it should. All gauges function properly. Interior and exterior is flawless. The amount of attention, care and respect this boat has been given is above and beyond and it shows.It is located in McHenry, IL (45 miles north of Chicago). She is ready and available for a smooth and easy transaction for the new owner.Enjoy a few words from the brochure -The Paragon, which is the result of two passions: water skiing perfection and classic elegance.It began quite innocently enough with a family's quest for the perfect water ski tow boat. That quest, naturally led the clan to Correct Craft's Ski Nautique.However, the head of the household-having assembled a respectable collection of classic, wooden boats-would not entertain the thought of having a fiberglass vessel in his fleet. The Ski Nautique would have to look like a classic or there would be no new ski boat.So began the Cinderellatale of the Ski Nautique Paragon.Craftsmen began with a new Ski Nautique - complete with it's record setting hull and integrated composite stringer system. Then they painstakingly fittedtree farm grown Honduras Mahogany to the deck with stainless steel screws. The countersunk hardware was hidden by bungs - small circular plugs of matching HondurasMahogany-to give the surface a smooth, unblemished look and feel.The deck was then sanded, sponged and sanded again, using a finer grit sandpaper. Stain was applied to accentuate therich, tight grain. Then six coats of Spar varnish were applied - each requiring a day or more to set.The teak floor was similarly installed, using matching teak bungs to cover the stainless steel hardware. But instead of varnish, the teak was hand rubbed with two coats of teak oil.The hull was painted with a linear polyurethane paint like that used on aircraft. Two coats of clear coat wereapplied to ensure its luster.On the transom, the family had the name "Willie B." applied in gold leaf. So the family got its water ski boat and the patriarch got his classic.
