These guys can tell you. I think their clubhouse is a workshop where they pull engines and flip boats.

Looks like this one was scuttled...

I've enjoyed this thread. If I didn't, I wouldn't waste time looking at it. JF

Laclede, The folks with places on Lakes Lanier, Rabun, etc are more likely to have vacation homes on Park Ave in NYC than in a swamp. <G> Best, Jeff

This has been a real adventure watching this boat's restoration. Thanks for the documentation. Jeff

Black Ops in a 1940s font.

I fully intend to come see this boat and the Puget Sound when your project is over. I would for sure trust it in a little foul weather. You're doing great.

I'm amazed.

I wonder who has been on your boat. The list would probably be pretty interesting.

One thing about it, when you get through, you are going to be thoroughly familiar with your yacht and its systems - and more capable of taking extended cruises to points unknown. It is great to see some one with both enthusiasm and the money to back it up. I can't wait for you to get it back in the ...

Man, you're doing it right. JF

I'd sure like the dash badge. Jeff

Laclede - First off, welcome back. As I said before, its your thread and you can do with it as you want and people can participate or not based on their inclinations. What I would recommend is that this is a project in which you should be getting your hands dirty on yourself. ... That mechanic will...

I hate it that this thread went TU, even though I had to look it up. 1. tango uniform adj – slang: military phonetic alphabet for letters ‘t’ and ‘u’, used as euphemistic abbreviation for ‘tits up’. etymology: from military aviation, where the flight attitude indicator on the aircraft instrument pan...

I don't know anything about anything, but that black CC laclede bought is beyond cool. Black boats. Mysterious black boats. I love 'em. This thread is a lot of fun, too. I agree with most all laclede says. Ever walked into "new money's" house and wondered why everything was so new and shiny? I think...

I pulled the plastic off after 9 days being draped. Now I've got the humidity at 45-50%. The boat just looks better. I guess you can see "dry". Hope I didn't leave it on too long. This did kind of give me alarm: Four conditions are necessary for the development of wood decay producing fungi. Elimina...

I promise "all is good" with you and that Connie on the Maine coast. Way to live! BTW, I just read a great book about all the early Captains and Kings from your part of the world involved in the China trade. You are lucky to ply those waters.

It just sold for a little less than 5K. Someone is in for a great adventure up there.

I've been doing this for a week today. I cut the steam mist a few days ago. The seam that was giving me concern is about half closed from where it was. I let it dry out too much last winter and am determined not to let that happen again. The drape will not stay on there permanently but I do think it...

Checking back in. Things have warmed up and now the garage is around 70 degrees, up from 60-61 and the humidity is up to 84%. Who knows what it would be if it were 85 degrees outside instead of 60. The bottom is actually wet when the warm mist humidifier is running which is now 16/7. Seems to be doi...

Plastic over and under with 3 cool mist humidifiers going 24/7 and one warm mist for 8/7 keep the air under the drape at 61-73% humidity. Seems to work.

That was a great buy for someone, Doug. It came with a survey and was donated by a pretty reputable guy. I just couldn't afford the shipping although, for a second, I thought about keeping it in the $250 per month stall and working out the shipping later. I loved the top cabin. Jeff

FWIW, Steve McConnell donated this boat to the charity that is auctioning it.

I figured it would cost 10K or more to get it 2300 miles over the Rockies. I sure do like the boat. I'm going to talk to ABT and see what they think. Thanks, Jeff

I wish I could figure out how to get this to Arkansas. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/37-Chris-Craft-Corvette-Wheelhouse-Flybridge-Cruiser-Twin-Chrysler-Inboard-/130869573343?_trksid=p2050601.m2372&_trkparms=aid=111000&algo=REC.CURRENT&ao=1&asc=14741&meid=6400764825223417906&pid=100085&prg=1112&rk=1...

Mine made my renewal very easy to send in.

I always dock like I have no reverse gear and I'm almost never disappointed when it doesn't work. Watch the wind and waves like you're on a sailboat. BTW, some of us call scratches "patina". And there's nothing better than a boat hook in a competent first mate's hand.

If I was the dictator of the lake, I would restrict music to bands on the following list: http://www.chickenonaunicycle.com/Fill%20West%20Shows.htm Or more traditionally: http://www.digitaldreamdoor.com/pages/best_songs-motown.html http://www.staxmuseum.com/about/artists/ At least then I'd know the ...

Thanks, Jim. There is so much about this picture that I could talk about. One thing, my Aunt Clara, in the boat, hated the water and boats - thought it was a waste of time, despite the fact that her family owned most of the vacant beachfront in Fairhope, AL. She though all the folks buying it from t...

You're on the ball! Thank you very much. Jeff
