I just installed my paddle & boat hooks in the anchor locker of my 1928 24’ triple. The question is how are the paddle & hook positioned underneath the deck. I have dimensions of them from a 1935 accessories catalog.

Thank you for getting back to me with your information.
I use the roll and tip method also.
Just waiting for the weather in WNY to get in to the lower 70"s to apply over my artwork.
85degrees and 85% humidity does not work for me.

Did you roll or brush over the completed leaf?

Looking for advise on varnishing over gold leaf. It was recommended to make sure I remove ALL of the tiny specs of gold left behind. Very nervous about varnishing over the artwork.
Thanks

My 1928 used #6 x 3/4 oval head slot.
Some people use stainless steel and polish the heads like chrome.

Thanks

Here is the finished product. Testers modeling paint put in with a toothpick slightly over filled. At 55 F it took 35 minutes to slightly dry enough to wipe the surface with a very small amount of thinner without pulling all the paint out of the indentations. After wiping once I let it setup again f...

Thank you both for you help. I should probably do this before I do a plumbing repair in the house!

Looking for suggestions / help painting the white letters on my Clum Switch.
I watched a few youtube videos, looking for someone who has done.
Thanks

I'm looking for a chrome plater within driving distance of Buffalo, NY?
Any one have any experience with Qual Krom or Advanced Custom Chrome both out of Erie, PA?
I really don't want to ship.
Thanks

Left over from a CC project (2.750 OD), as a last resort you can take 2 1/2 copper pipe (2.625) outside diameter pipe and slide it into the 2.750 and silver solder together to make something that may work.

1928 Chris Craft 24' Flat deck Runabout. Installing the ceilings, floors and seat frames now. Engine went in this summer (1928 Chrysler Imperial 6cyl), wiring is complete. Varnish on the decks is done (15 coats), to cold in Buffalo to finish varnishing the hull sides (10 coats).

Ron, Thank you for the info. I contacted Great Lakes and they were very helpful. HF-7 is a bit older than the P-31. Same internals. Same power capacity. Parts availability is a bit better for the P-31, and they have some parts and will sell to the public. Thanks again. Tom PS I searched the club web...

Does anyone know what the difference is between a HF7D-R and a P-31-R?
Both are 1:1 and right hand rotation.
Both came off CC 327 F.
The only difference I see is the ski pole mounts easier to the HF7D-R
Any help would be great.

A quick check to see if the distributor is advancing. Remove the cap and see of the rotor will rotate and spring back, if not the distributor is not advancing.

How do you wire the switches for separate navigation and anchor lights.
See photo.
Thanks Tom

Here are some photos:
PVC and camp stove and turkey roaster forward 1/3
Insulated foam with duct tape with clam/corn steamer for the transom planks 12" plus in width.
Both got the internal temp over 212F

Jim, I will give everyone a good laugh. Years of camping taught me that a propane camp stove boils water really fast. A two burner propane camp stove with a large turkey roasting pan covers both burners. I cut a hole the the lid of the roasting pan (know one uses the lid) at least that is what I tol...

Don't be surprised if you have to steam bend the forward part of the sheer batten to get it to lay right. I had to on my 24' Chris.
Compound bend and twist.

I'm looking for the same drawings, I agree lots of info but not for the 327F.

The fuel may be getting past the seal at the top of the accelerator pump (brass radius / cast Iron C'bore).
My 2 cents.

Not sure if this is what you need.
Tom

You could remove the dis. cap, then rotate the rotor see if it moves and if it "springs back", That will tell you if the dis. is advancing.
My two cents.

Fuel pump leaking into the block thinning out the oil? Friend had the same issue.
What weight oil are you using?

6 volt horn relay

Thanks Jim, I ordered a box!!
Tom

I'm 1/2 done with my wiring and ran out of these staples.
Does anyone have some like the photos they would be willing to sell me?
Let me know.
Thanks
Tom

Thinking about replacing my Chevy Silverado 1500 5.3 with locking rear differential 2 wheel drive pick up. For the last 10 years I have launched /towed my 21' glass inboard (4000 lbs) with no problems. Hoping to finish my 1928 24' flat deck triple (5000 lbs) in the next few years. The question is do...
