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.
Today, this boat got a new storage cover. We used the same snaps that the bimini/enclosure will use, since they will never both be on the boat at the same time. That allowed us to use less material for the cover and I think it looks cleaner than a full over-the-rubrail cover. I am very happy with this cover.
Today was trailer day for this boat. Once we had the boat in the water, we realized how bad the bunk carpet was. It held up well for over over 47 years (!!), but the original bunk carpet had gotten pretty tired, so we're replacing it, along with one (yes, just one) of the bunks.
We also refreshed some of the trailer wiring and got all of the lights working properly.
More cruising around today on Lake Norman. Boat is running great!
Fun times at the White Lake show!
White Lake Reunion was a success!
