Joe Carlson is in charge of it -- if you want a couple pairs, contact him at <[email protected]>
The cost is $20.00, 1.40 tax and $3.00 s+h. We are not making no money on it.
That is cost.

Hey, Sea Skiffers, Joe says no one ordered any decals! What is that all about?
Look how they look! Tell me it ain't cool!

I would wait for the "real experts" to comment, but if it was my boat, I would check the stuffing box, too. Maybe it is worn from the loose strut bearing, maybe the flax is worn out, and so forth. It might be as simple as putting in new flax, or you might need a new stuffing box -- they wear out! It...

There's the positioning, it is about a half an inch or so where the side windows come to the side rail.

That is the reason your top is so low -- the mounting doo-dads are too far forward. Hence, the ass-end is too low, and you can't slide the front bow up high enough to where it should be, and your bows crash into the top of the windshield when you try to fold it down. Somewhere else in here (last sum...

The original Sea Skiffs had decals on the stern quarter that just said "Sea Skiff" Later, c. 1957 or 1958, they started putting those pot metal things on there instead, I guess because you could unscrew them and take them off when painting, which is not possible with decals. Some more evidence of Ch...

I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but that is not an original canvass top on the blue boat. Mine is made from the factory originals except for the windows. It had square windows. I made my windows a little larger on the height than the originals. If you want to see pix of the originals that ca...

From what I can see in the pictures, the through hull fittings are in the same exact place as mine, but I agree that usually the factory installed models also had the front hatch. But look at the one Grant Stanfield just found -- toilet is on the hull card but no front hatch. Another clue to its yea...

Nice boat, Grant! I see that is #169. Mine is #155, also built at Cadillac. Interesting the way they customized the forward bulkhead to accommodate the searchlight control knob on the starboard side. Does it match on the port side? Looks like a real solid boat, and I like that color, never saw one i...

Here are some pictures that may help that I have collected off the net over the years -- I cannot vouch for their originality. I replaced the original tubing with 1/2" stainless which is a litle heavier than the original galvanized pipe. I got mine at BMG Metals in Richmond, VA but that should not b...

Thanks, Frank!

Does anyone have any information (or plans) on this topic? I had ring trouble after St. Michaels and when I took off the head, I found 3 years of running in salt water (despite flushing it after every use) had resulted in precipitation of salt and minerals that partially or substantially clogged qui...

I second what Al Benton has said: Everyone should read the "FROM THE CLUB" message which I am posting below, and then try to imagine the depth of the hole those who stepped forward found themselves in and had to dig themselves out of to get the Club back to this point. Even this "From the Club" mess...

Farupp is correct! • Stamped into the aft surface of the forward header of the engine hatch Here is mine: 16 R 122 http://s13.postimage.org/5yjywogsj/Hull_Number_1280x960.jpg FWIW I couldn't see anything on either of my engine stringers starboard, port, inboard, outboard or on the inside of the stem...

Mine has them and they are stainless, but I don't think they are original because it has aluminium on the rub rails. I am attaching an advertisement which I think is 1958, and I don't see any on there, but it is kind of hard to tell. I also have a couple factory photos, but there don't appear to be ...

Maybe these will help answer your question :
Only this is a 1954 Sea Skiff.

I agree with Paul that first and foremost, Bill is owed tremendous thanks and the enduring gratitude of every member for all he has done for the Club, much of which is above and beyond the call of duty as well as above and beyond the comprehension of anyone who has not served in a volunteer organiz...

Dave, Get a life. Do you work for the IRS? Is it your objective to prove how smart you are? What reason do you have for the venom? What is your personal agenda? What proof do you have that Bill or the club has done something illegal? Do you honestly think the club will be better if Bill leaves? Are...

"I find this whole discussion completely ridiculous. * * * As Matt Smith said, everything will be okay. Give Bill a break! He will appoint new officers or whatever he wants to do ." Brian Robinson Further to my previous post, I am sure that as a former director of the Club, Brian Robinson is famili...

I find this whole discussion completely ridiculous. * * * Give Bill a break! He will appoint new officers or whatever he wants to do . (emphasis added) Terry, Don, and I will be around to help. Leave the poor guy alone for a few weeks and give him time to think about the future. * * * Some of you n...

Hey, come on! I don't think just resigning from the Club (is that even permitted in the bylaws?) is good enough for GBraker. If this is really a boat club worth a damn, he should be made to walk the plank and then keel hauled! I have the Biggest Balls (ask Woodyboater.com!), but who has the longest ...

As a former National Director of an Antique Automobile club this whole discussion sounds to me like what Yogi Berra used to call "a deja vu all over again." There's no doubt that Bill Basler and all the others involved in the Club put in an extraordinary amount of their time and energy when they cou...

Chad The two big ones were cruising outside the edge of the 20 fathom line, the others were near some fish trap markers right on the edge of the 20 fathom line. A couple of them had a lot of little sea horses in them. Did not see a lot of bait. No grass or other debris. Here's the tracking from my S...

Thanks, Chad. I was reading that exchange on adjusting valves earlier in the month. Do they sound right to you? Had to come in the OC inlet on instruments (GPS) as it was pretty foggy right on the beach. Offshore it was not too bad. It closed in to less that 1/4 mile right when we crossed the shippi...

Mr. Kimball, The picture that Bill Bassler posted is from Don Dannenberg -- Continental Buff from a later year. As you can see from the pictures Craig Wilson posted, for reasons I can't exactly figure out, this color looks different depending on the camera angle, the light and sun/shadow. This year,...

For the post-War lighter blue, try Plasticote Hi-temp (to 500 degrees) Engine paint GM Corporate Blue No. 221. I'll be darned if I can tell the difference between it and this "Chris Craft Marine" blue the restoration supply people sell for $9 or $10 a can. The cap color looks darker, but when you ac...

Read Dannenburg's book (Vol. 2), it tells you exactly what to do and has good illustrations.
