why not use osb. Here is Miss OSB 65' loa made entirely of oriented strand board ..............mark

my guess is that it is a shipping dept. received stamp. left the plant on the 4th and went shipping on the 5th.all done in 1953.................mark

just curious , who put the round stamp on that hull card that says received march 5 1953 chris craft corporation. The plant, or the dealer?...............................markmcisaacinc.com

how about a 3 position ignition switch .....acc,ignition, start....................markmcisaacinc.com

He took down some of the greatest boat icons in the USA, including Four Winns,Larson,Well Craft, Carver, Glastron, and Ranger boat and more. Glad to see he owns an epoxy de-laminated nightmare ..............markmcisaacinc.com

sorry, i meant 3/8" from the factory...........my mistake

fyi,a 15'cavalier is a plywood boat with one layer of 3/8" inch ply as the bottom. They were scarfed at the factory mid ship, and some were then fiberglassed as a factory option.....................markmcisaacinc.com

FYI,anything used below water line wood need to be bs 1088 standard,which sounds like what Mark was quoted. As i said, marine fur apa rated (no voids)is more then adequate for flooring.....3/4 " is around $60.00 a sheet.Regular apa cdx or exterior grade AC plywood has voids everywhere and is not rat...

Mark, If you are planning on painting the flooring, you need marine fur grade plywood.AB grade is good both sides, and can be used above water line............markmcisaacinc.com

3M5200 is not an adhesive! since when....................markmcisaacinc.com

Bill, thanks , I know you have a basketball team of kids at home. By the way, for what it's worth, I'm with Matt, the club will be fine. Truth,honesty, and most of all,hard work always prevail......thanks mark ps, I'm not kidding about the c.o.d. if it will help

Good deal Matt. It has been a long day. I Started out on the air file for around four hours on the Garwood this morning and my five year old lost his first tooth today. Anybody know what the going rate for a tooth is from the tooth Fairy ...........mark

That's the ole' Christmas spirit Matt...Now how about a rendition of "SILVER BRASS BELLS"..It's Christmas time in the city.........mark

there are 3 things we need to change in our club. the first is raise dues, secondly ,mail the BB. and third a a a a owe,owe well oops ,well um , well i'm not , well i guess, never mind....................markmcisaacinc

I wonder if Don Danenberg still has is? That was the biggest silver tarp I or we ever put over a boat. It covered 1/2 of Manistee County. ............marmcisaacinc.com

Spring and summer were so busy,and flew buy so fast that ,they will hardly seem late.Now that it is dark at 5:30 and the kids are in bed at 8:00pm, I can sit down with the BB and a vodka and tonic and enjoy some peace and quiet.............markmcisaacinc.com

What happens if the poll is split 50/50 :shock: ? We could call in Joe Martell to cast the final vote.I just picked up a old issue of the BB in my hands and sniffed the ink :? Maybe some scratch and sniff pages could be a hit...ie cpes,petit 1015,epifanes,2000e barrior coat.Can't do that online. My ...

:D Nice boat ...... I restored and owned one for 10 years. luved it. here some inspiration... I would highly recommend sticking with the gold and white and black gator , it was very special in 55'.I repowered mine with a 283 , it did close to 50 mph.............markmcisaacinc.com http://s1.postimage...

:D Maybe someone should ask Wilson.....He might have some sound advice.Possibly simplifying or going back to basics.He did run this club for a very long time with much success and no tardiness with the Brass Bell.Having the online brass bell seems to woody boater like to me.It is nice to get a Hard ...

:D The aging population of classic boating owners and supporters is a well known problem. Even in other clubs , ie the Lions Club , most of our members are in their 70's and 80's and they just can't do all the duties required any more.Sadly, We have been losing members every year do deaths, The youn...

:D just remember that roofing materials are designed to shed water , not sit in it 24-7. Even flat roofs need to dry out,and are wet on one side only.I would think mold or mildew would collect in between the wood surfaces and cause problems down the line. 3m5200 is a better choice......................

:D I am restoring a 1938 19' runabout.For the record, this hull appears to have the green-grey bilge paint as well. The top sides were in very good untouched shape. During the restacking process I noticed the port side to have three screws per frame station ,and the std. side to have four screws per...

nice ride!!!!!!who needs motor boxes anyway.............markmcisaacinc.com

not sure about paragon p trans or bell housing, only the hf7..........mark

deny, velvet drives attach to a pressure plate that is bolted to the fly wheel in side the bell housing. Totally dry set up.HF7 set up is the typical chris craft backwards engineered nightmare .They work nice, but do not swap with modern marine power.............markmcisaacinc.com

be careful , a heated shop is not the best place for and original boat . It will dry out and you may begin to see a lot of plank separation . Cool moist air is the best. ..............markmcisaacinc.com

I scanned a original factory photo of a 1940 . the 1941 has large vents and hardware placement spec sheet , Not sure how good the quality is.........mark

here is a pic of the correct locale on a boat i just completed.........mark

Interesting that the chocks normally on the cover board at the transom are mounted on the bow. Does the hull card say anything?............markmcisaacinc.com
