    Looking for some 1977 Correct Craft "Ski Nautique" vector files

    Greetings, I am looking for a vector file of the Old School " Ski Nautique " side logos for a 1977 correct craft. As you all know this one features the lower case letters in the text. I want to cut these in vinyl andwould be willing to pay if need be to get a hold of it.

    any help would be super!

    I would also be happy with a high resolution photo of the side of the boat with a relatively straight on camera shot of it so i could recreate it myself.

    check out correctcraftfan.com

    They might have that file in their reference section. If not somebody over there can probably guide you to what you need.

        He won't give you the files but Al Thomas has the exact vinyl graphics for sale with or without the shaded look. He owned a nautique dealership. He had them traced off a boat so they are exact. I am very happy with mine.

          How much does he charge?

            Are you looking for just the words, or are you looking for the stripes as well.

                Ok. This post is going to sound a bit harsh... Yeah, I can do them. I own a vinyl business, and I have done the leg work to get these kinds of graphics. I have gone out and traced original images, I've got most nautique graphics from the 70's on. I know of at least 3 people on CCF that have these for sale as well, which to me means either you have already contacted them and were floored at what they were asking for them, or you didn't want the graphic, you just wanted the file.

                  No Actually, I have a full tracing that I managed to convert into a vector file. I was curious as to what other people are asking for a set ( just for the sides ). I quoted my customer 145.00 for each side so, 290.00 total. This of coarse is factoring in graphic design time and vinyl supplies by the square foot. ( using Oracal 751 premium cast ). I just don't want the customer to feel like he is getting a bad deal and if so, I may be able to work with him a bit if necessary.

                      so is that too much to ask 145.00 each side?

                        So it all worked out. Apparently I gave him a good deal. I even included the rear decals " Correct Craft / Competition Ski Boat " in for that price. If any of you are interested in a set in any color, I can help out. Click image for larger version

                            No doubt. High quality vinyl decals are a much cheaper option than a full paint restore.

                              I was under the impression that the stripes actually had to curve downward towards the front in order to compensate for the curve of the hull. I cant tell you how many times Ive seen a bad vinyl job on the stripes... presumably because they were printed straight. Hopefully this was taken into account? Dont want to end up like this!
