Dodger

Post by localcalif » Thu Jun 28, 2012 7:48 pm

So I'm thinking about building a dodger for my 1963 CC Holiday. From the looks of it it had on retrofitted in the past, most of the connections are still there. I might just make it a removable hardtop. Does anyone know of some photos showing dodgers from this period? I would like to come up with a design that best suits the boat. Thanks

Yeah Don, an old school term, often more like a guard or enclosure- as in "Dodge" the weather, spray, etc.

Nowadays usually just called "Canvas" on a cruiser.

For those of us who remember Steve Allen's Answer Man-
A "Los Angeles" Dodger is a pedestrian crossing Wilshire Blvd. :lol:
