Thanks Tim! The early tournament style boats (pre 1990) are super easy to work on...simple v-8 motor without emissions. The later boats are EFI with much more elaborate electronics..etc. If you end up looking for a tournament boat, I would look at the 1989 Nautique 2001 (this was first year of fiberglass stingers)..stay away from the older 17' hulls...they beat you up in rough water!!
That particular boat was always one of my favorite Correct Crafts...when the chance came to buy it I couldn't resist. After completing the fiberglass work I decided that it was too small for wakeboarding with more than a couple of people due to lack of storage....ended up selling it to a collector in Austin.
Cheers!
