Thanks Guys!

Look for her at Dora 2020

PS: You guys are great! It seems you both answer every question I post. THANKS

Hi Gang: So how old does Fiberglass have to be to be considered classic? I am running a 1985 Formula 242LS with the original interior and engine. Seems a little young to be considered classic, but it is coming up on it's 30th birthday. Even though I am getting more involved in woodies I have no inte...

Fishing boats are commercial and would be exempt in NY as well, here is a section from our DMV, other states likely to be different... What if my boat is documented by the US Coast Guard? You must register the boat in NYS if: the boat is not used for commercial purposes in NYS, and the boat will be...

Thanks for posting this! I have been wondering the same thing for my 38'. I am pretty sure in Maine it is one or the other you do not have to do both. I did see something on the USCG site that stated that you have to put the boats name on the bow (where the numbers would go) but I am not sure if tha...

Love It!

Keep up the good work.

I feel very Blessed to be living the life of Riley up here. Can't wait to get the Connie wet. Found out this weekend that I may have more mechanical work than I had hoped. Rumor has it that they burned one of these Corvettes a couple of years ago up here in "our" Portland. A friend was telling me la...

Darn was looking forward to the "Jose".

Oh ya, have some in the cupboard.

ALL IS GOOD!

Any input on the Ignitor VS the Ignitor II. My first thought is that they upgraded to the II for a reason. Spoke with "Classic Boat Connection" this morning and they only use the original Ignitor system, didn't even know there was a II offered. Troy PS: If anyone knows of a supplier of internal part...

Wow! With all that going for it I may need to start searching for a Roamer. :P Ok, you want a rust story. One time I was scraping paint off a steel boat...oh never mind! Nice paquet of boats Tom, Are you using rosin paper to mask off? where do you get it. By the way, to my delight, these Roamers are...

Hey Jeff:

If you decide to buy it you can use my UPS account to ship me the bottle of Jose I see in one of the pix. Looks full.

Troy

Thanks Guys!

You have helped confirm my what I suspected.

I think it will be even more valuable around the salt water.

Are you running a regular dist. cap or a funky one like in the video from Trick414?

Troy

Thanks for the Video.

Are you happy with the way it is working?

Troy

I am in the process of rebuilding the distributors on my 1958 WBR engines. Have any of you had any experiance with the Pertronix upgrades? I am not concerned about show points, just reliability and value. Part of me thinks these engines have been runing this long with points, why mess with it, and a...

The black hull is very sharp looking!

I don't expect I will ever change mine to black, but if it was black when I bought it I probably would not change it back to white either.

I am glad!

I think they add a uniqueness that makes her stand out, and that is better than being original.

Are you keeping the stairs?

I like them, even though they are not original.

Wow! You make me feel good about my Connie find. Since I was unsuccessful in convincing my wife to make a last minute trip to Dora, I spent yesterday getting to know "American Beauty" better, while preparing my "To Do" list. I was thinking "I have so much work to do before she splashes", but now aft...

Huge learning curve! Fortunatelly I have been boating since I was about 3 years old. (about 47yrs) Bought my first boat when I was about 15. A wood open boat that I put a 1953 25HP Johnson on. (Wish I still had that one.) Have owned a few boats since (mostly glass), have been caring for my mothers '...

I am new to the Cruiser world also, but found my Hull Number right where MM said they would be. "•Stamped into the aft surface of the forward header of the engine hatch on single engine models, and stamped into the aft surface of the forward header of the port engine hatch on twin engine models." Si...

Here is a picture of Hagerty rep Michael Hor taking one for the Hagerty team. I am not sure if you've ever seen someone do a 180 in a 1948 Chris Craft Racing Runabout, but it is quite a sight to see. As the front and rear ends swap places, about 50 gallons of water washes over the inside of the rea...

I remember one time as a kid when a property owner complained, in the local newspaper, about the noise of classic wooden boats (about 6 of them) out for a midnight ride. The boaters (my Dad included, in his '57 CC Continental) got together one night and paddled their boats, enginges off, in front of...

Yes! Thank You for putting that out there. I do not intend to go original, I am planning on breakers, battery switchs, and a great deal of upgrades. I still wanted the original diagrams as a map in case there is uncertainty. I was given a link by my surveyor to make sure it is done up to spec. This ...

does the MM not have your wiring diagram? I have obtained them for some of my CC projects. It seems I was not offered a diagram because they do not have the exact one for my Connie (X-38-305) but they do have one for X-38-320 which I have ordered. Should fill in any gaps. Thanks for sending me back...

Did not receive any indication that they did in my convesations, but I realize I did not ask specifically for it, so I will call them tomorrow. Thanks.

I plan on replacing most of the wiring on a newly acquired 1958 38' Constellation with WBR engines and Chris-O-Matics this spring. I have received the info package from The Mariners Museum and plan on purchasing an engine manual and maybe some of the other manuals offered, but I don't know where to ...
