Re: Special Race Boat Replica Project
Well the boat is finally finished! I launched it for the first time last week for the Geneva Lakes Boat show. Thanks to the Wooden Runabout Company for putting in some extra time and getting it to the finish line. This boat is a blast to drive. Now the bad news, it looks like I do have one major iss...

Re: Special Race Boat Replica Project
I'm not sure exactly, but Matt Smith's boat is 16 footer. I know some, if not all, of the 19 foot boat came with the six gauge panel I'm using. The only difference is it should have the cracked ice finished rather than the black crackle finish I have. Here is a pic of one of the original 1936 boats ...

Re: Special Race Boat Replica Project
The boat is currently back in Michigan at the Wooden Runabout Company for some final varnish, upholstery and few other things. Once that is finished, its back home for final assembly. I hope to hit the water beginning of September.

Re: Special Race Boat Replica Project
I've post a couple updates on my project. http://www.ccraceboat.com
There has been a little progress, but not much as the boat was in storage of the summer. Winter is now here so it's time to get to work.

Re: Special Race Boat Replica Project
Update....
The boat's framing was completed about 3 weeks ago and has been waiting for me to go pick it up. I will be bringing the boat home this weekend, My plan is to plank the boat this winter. Expect progress to slow now that it is only me working in my free time.
