Re: KL Won’t Get Over 1500rpm under load?

Thanks Badger! Will check that today and reply. Further note, played with the timing a bit (advance under load) and am getting 2100rpm now, and planing. When adjusting timing, should I be using screw, or distributor collar? Been a while since I got to play with this stuff. :)

Re: Survey - Really?

Why carry insurance on it at all? If it’s in a structure on land it’s covered by your homeowners policy. Get back to insurance when she’s ready to go back into the water. My two cents.

Trying to find Chris Craft Willow Gray Paint

I have a 1960 Chris Craft Conqueror that, according to the hull card, shipped new with “Deck Paint Willow Gray #72-260” (the foredeck being referenced).
