Here you go....here's a 1940 100HP truck engine. Great running motor and perfect for this boat. Pictured in the boat is our own Bill Baldwin, editor extraordinaire....

I would be surprised, and interested to know, if the mahogany on your boat is in fact Phillipine or is Honduras, as I would presume it is. I have two 1947 painted hull CC's in the shop right now and they're cedar hulls with Hondo decks and transom. Someone replaced the transom on the U-22 with Phill...

I did just that on my 22' CC 7 or 8 years ago and have had no problem. I didn't put the copper tubing in but I drilled out all the limber holes so they were uniform in size. They still require a push with a piece of wire once in a while but generally work well when there are no leaves or other debri...

We usually chalk the whole boat and then start sanding with a longboard, again. High spots sand off quickly leaving the chalked low spots very visible. Just when you think you've got it perfect, do it again. Trust me, two more days of sanding beats 5 years or more of looking at an unfair hull or one...

I'd say John is right, too. CC doesn't put ceiling boards in the engine compartment. Yours has boards from its original configuration. There must be numbers stamped somewhere. Have you removed the rear seat back? That model should have a number stamped in the frame that goes across. Also in some flo...

Tim, You shouldn't have to steam those planks. I use a long ratcheting strap, or strap/rope combo to go all around the boat and the new rough fit plank. Once it's reasonably close I start tightening the strap and adjusting the board. I also screw a couple keepers to the cheeks so I can get the strap...

I don't recommend bedding anything in 5200 as it's a permanent adhesive and not a bedding compound. I use Dolphonite Bedding Compound, the old school stuff because it works and it's nostalgic, for me. Boatlife or any other "non-permanent" polyurethanes are also acceptable. Remember, the bolts are ho...

Thanks for all the help, guys. Especially Matt for de-railing my question within the first 20 minutes! I will print this thread and include a copy with the history of the boat. If I get any flack from the judges about the waterline I'll present them with all of your answers. I'll see you guys tomorr...

Thanks Matt. As always, you're the first to step forward with interesting and accurate information that most people probably don't know. As much as I hate to deviate from original, can you please create a third waterline somewhere in the middle? I'm not sure if this boat will stay in the states or e...

Waterline Estimate
Can anybody out there with a '37-'38 17' Deluxe approximate the waterline from the chine up AFT and the deck down FWD? I have a boat with no trace of a waterline on its new sides. I just want to get close so I can CPES, barrier coat and paint the bottom. I will float it for the final WL once the boa...

Usually the prop shaft leaks while underway and perhaps not at rest. The rudder would probably leak all the time if it was bad....perhaps not while under way. EIther way, I'd repack the rudder stuffing box and take a good look at the shaft stuffing box. The nipple, or whatever, was probably just use...

Or you could look for something period correct, like this..... http://s2.postimage.org/buvvu4f8/IMG_1338.jpg This is a 1951 Transitier forklift with a Crosley engine in it.
