Are boat rides going to be available? or is it a land display only?

Jack Mayeaux in Portland, Oregon can make you a factory correct upholstery kit and you can install it or have Jack install it for you.

That top photo was shot during the South Lake Tahoe boat show in 2011 and I can send you the higher res original if you like.

Carroll - That KLB131 was completely rebuilt in 2005 by Jim McNeilly in Seattle, WA. When the 1952 Riviera 18' restoration was successfully completed by Mike Mayer (at Lake Oswego Boat Co.) in 2012, before Mike installed the KBL back in the Riviera (for judging purposes at Lake Tahoe) Mike repainted...

Carroll - If you want to simply send the KBL out and get it back as a complete turn-key engine, ready to re-install in your boat, I say you are on the right track. There are a number of qualified engine shops in the USA (like VanNess, etc) that can do this, including testing it and running it in for...

If you are planning to ship the engine on a crate via a transport company to the USA and back most of the cross border transport companies offer customs brokerage as part of their service. You may have to do some basic paperwork to ID the engine serial number, etc. If you are delivering it yourself,...

Keep an eye on your mailbox Stovebolt - yesterday I received 4 Brass Bells in the mail. Two of the issues from the September mailing and two copies of the most recent issue.

(Nice work Jim)

A reproduction of the semi-translucent version from a 1952 Riviera.

EST But it's still live now.

Is a digital version of the new Brass Bell available or are we once again at the mercy of USPS?

Today a rare 1937 Gar Wood 25' Triple Cockpit Runabout powered by a Scripps V-12 sold at the RM Arizona Auction for 280,000.00. http://s7.postimage.org/vyrrl7vvr/RM_Gar_Wood_1.jpg Photo by Wayne Davis / RM Auctions For more information, you can find the story on Woody Boater.com http://www.woodyboat...

Before the management change, I recall that the Brass Bells always came to Canada via Sweden.

Based on the comments in this thread - It's now approximately three months since most club members in the USA received their Brass Bell Volume XXXVIII, Number 1 in the mail. Have the other Canadian club members received their copies yet? I have not. My most recent version of The Rodder's Journal mag...

I agree with Pete, having some experience with this, shipping via FedEx is a good way to go in terms of making sure the guages arrive safely in the US and in terms of dealing with US / Canadian Customs both directions. Just be prepared to do some minor / additional paperwork at the local FedEx shipp...

Congratulations Matt & Lisa! Nice work.

Was Volume XXXVIII, Number 1 also published in a PDF digital version and linked on the Chris-Craft web site somewhere?

That was a great story Bill. Thanks for posting it here for everyone to see and enjoy.

Ya gotta love those big triple cockpit runabouts.

Even today, although less dramatic, methods for replacing bottoms can still vary from shop to shop, and by area - and of course by the type of boat, restoration objectives and restoration philosophy the restorer / owner have in mind. I have noticed over the last few years that some restorers still a...

Interesting discussion. When referring to old wooden boats that were glassed over many years ago, you have to ask the question "What motivated the owners (at the time) to use this method?" Was it cost? (vs complete bottom replacement) Was it the best technology at the time? Was 3M 5200 or West Syste...

If in fact it is a Taylor Made product, could you go directly to Taylor Made to buy the parts on-line?

"NAMELESS"

The Lake Tahoe Concours specifically has a category / award for Best Non-Professional Restoration.

Steve - Close the door before some dust blows in on the floor!

But seriously, that old Chris-Craft triple looks very nice indeed.

Jim - Don't get him started or the Zipper thing will resurface...

Man I just love seeing those old original photos from back in the day.

"As Delivered"

Probably enhanced by the fact that I just spent 5 days touring around Algonac...

Any help? If you need more detail I can get some additional photos if required.

I know, I know...

Still trying to come to grips with having to paint those beautiful KBL carbs blue.





Sorry Scott - didn't mean to hijack your post.

Scott - Welcome to the Boat Buzz Forum. A new stainless steel prop shaft for my 1952 18' Riviera was around 375.00.
