Sort the comments below by OLDEST to see a chronological timeline of the work we have completed so far.


We pulled this 1978 Cuddy Nautique out of a barn in the Tennessee mountains and brought it back to our facility. These are kind of rare vessels. The hull is the same as the Fish Nautique, but the top deck was built by the Regal Boat Company, and transported to Correct Craft for installation onto the hull, creating the cuddy cabin. Not sure how many were made, or why, but it will make a great wintertime cruiser! We're looking forward to working on it, and seeing how much of the original seating/flooring/equipment can be saved.

This 2004 Air Nautique SV-211 is a boat that we're selling on consignment for a friend. It is finished in the rare color of Wineberry and Silver Cloud, and has the upgraded PCM Excalibur 5.7L 330 HP engine (standard was the 5.0L 275 HP). This boat has a low 840 hours.


This is a local Lake Norman boat that has spent most of its life here. While it is a very nice vessel, it is not perfect. There are some gelcoat blisters below the water line, and the upholstery is starting to show its age in some places.


Mechanically, it is in very nice condition. The steering cable has just been replaced, and the engine has had a full service, so it is ready for the water immediately.


If you're familiar with Nautiques of this era, you may be aware of the common issue of the gauges tending to fail over time. This boat is starting to experience that issue, but some of the gauges still work. There is a repair kit for this issue.


Due to the imperfections that this boat has, the owner is willing to sell it at a great price. This would be a great starter boat, or one that could be restored to excellent condition if desired. If you're looking for an inexpensive boat that can be a good ski/wake/surf boat, this is your vessel!


There is no trailer included with this boat, however if you need a trailer, Silver Cove Marine has one that would hold this boat available at an additional cost.


This boat has a clean and clear North Carolina title.


Price for this boat: $16,900.00

This 1998 Ski Nautique Open Bow (SNOB) came to us from Florida, where it spent numerous summers on Compass Lake. It appears that it hasn't been used much over the past few years. The gelcoat is oxidized, and will require a good wet sanding and polishing to bring it back to life, but it should polish out nicely.


Hours are unknown on this boat because the previous owner removed the hour gauge.


This boat is finished in Violet & Charcoal, with silver pinstripes. The dash is in good condition, the windshield is in good shape (could use new paint on the frame), and opens and closes well. The swim platform is unrestored, but would clean up very nicely.


The engine is the HO 351 with 285 HP. It has a new carburetor, according to the previous owner, and it seems to run well.


The trailer is the original 1998 trailer made for this specific boat. It is in fair condition, and has new tires.


We would restore this boat ourselves before selling, but our shop is so busy right now that we just don't have the time. We have decided to offer this one up as-is. Someone will get a very nice restoration project at a good price.


The boat has a clean and clear North Carolina title.

The trailer title is still being processed, but we expect a clean and clear North Carolina title soon.


Restored, this boat and trailer would be worth at least $20,000.

We will sell the boat and trailer as-is for $7,000.
