Where r the throttles located on this boat? Any pics?

I am referring to the 1937 Water Ways, Jerrys book, and the 1937 CC Catalog.
Would DEARLY love to see photos of your boat if possible..
Should you wish to discuss the plans I have please contact me at [email protected]

Sorry,, "Greg".. It would seem to me the Water WAys may be more expensive since they used Hollywood stars in them.. ?? I do like the 1937 with Joan Crawford and Clark Gable..

Thanks Grag! I will be able to sleep tonight..

Thanks.. Wonder why they made the water ways so large then if they were mailed. Most of mine do not show any signs of being folded.
Only have interest in full catalogs and Water Ways. Pass on all the other ones.

Having collected most of the Water Way catalogs and most of the CC catalogs from 1930 thru 1969, I have never learned WHY the Water Ways publication was made. Was it a midyear publication? One year in particular fasinates me. In 1934 there were two Water Ways published. One oviously early in the yea...

Don, I also have 42 CC catalogs from 1930 through 2002. Oviously many missing.
I really would love to see a 1937 CC Catalog

Isaac getting rowdy now...

Isaac has been very low key here in Metairie so far.

Thanks Don. I know Jerry has moved on. I was just looking for his email addy to say hello.
Be glad to share my WWays. I have 1933, 34,34-35, 36,36-37,37, 40, 41, 48, 53, and three others. Have to make a list.
What I am looking for is to find out why they were done and what determined when...

I am currently building a couple of models of said cruiser. Have the plans from the museum, Jerrys book, and a Waterways catalog from 1937. My problem is that the line drawings differ from the profile drawing which differs from the Waterways pic which differs from Jerrys pic in the Essential Guide. ...

Don, this may be for you. Or perhaps I need to go to Chris Smith again. Besides being a CC cruiser modeler, (ChrisCraftModels.com) I also collect CC catalogs from about 1930 through 1968. I recently aqquired 12 Waterways. Since they were never dated, I generally go by Jerry Conrads book to figure ou...

Thank you John, was up your way in July, enjoyed my visit to the area.

RR... Usually around $2,400-$2,600 depending on what you want. 1/3 down when I start, 13 mos to completion. (So many models to build, so little time!) Right now it will be about two years before I can take on another. Promised several persons different boats. However can give you a model of a 1963 4...

I have seen this boat posted on eBay several times.

Awaiting my plans from the CC library for a 1963 42' Connie. Have a client who wants a model. As usual I would again appreciate any pictures of said cruiser from any of the great members here. Intend to start in about four weeks when the plans arrive. Thanks again!! :D LaBob@rocketmail.com www.Chris...

Close as I can come to it.. LOL

Here we go again. I just completed the 1955 37' Corvette and I am seeking pictures of the listed boats from any member to help me in building these models. The members have always been helpful in supplying me w/pictures, and information of any boat I needed in my quest to build models of them. Any h...

I was fortunate enough to finally get to the museum in July. I opened the doors at 10am and my wife pulled me out at 3:30pm. I loved it! I just had some dealings w/Jim Hoooker at the CC library and ordered several boat plans and was pleased with the extra service Jim provided including digging in th...

I for one love and use the "Buzz" but I always enjoy getting the new Brass Bell and just sitting down and enjoying reading all of it from cover to cover. Be a shame to lose it. ANOTHER "classsic" gone. One thing I can suggest for the loss in members is that down here in the South, Katrina took so ma...

I would like to thank all members of the club for all the information on the 1955 37' Corvette. I have finished the model and couldn't have done it w/o your help! (as usual) :D The brass nameplates are on order but the stands for them can be seen toward the left bottom of the last pic. LaBob@Rocketm...

Thanks for the pics!!!!!!!!!! Sorry it took me so long to get back. Pics of my model as she is now attached. Still a ways to go. I am considering a canvas top. http://s3.postimage.org/28k31v0xw/DSCN0557.jpg http://s3.postimage.org/28k4pedfo/DSCN0559.jpg http://s3.postimage.org/28k9o0ex0/DSCN0560.jpg...

Come on.. Someone out there must have a 1954 36' or a 195537' Corvette.. Please.... I am in dire need. The plans I usually use are not clear on many points..(Shop drawing)

I may be in trouble. I think the guy w/the 1954 36' Corvette thought I was emailing to buy the boat!! I haven't heard from him since I explained what i wanted.. I think I still need help!!!!!!
Pics of an unknown boat won't help Ken but thanks..

The way they filed the drawings makes it confusing sometimes. Once they told me they didn't have a particular drawing, so I asked for it by another name and they found it. Also sometimes a drawing is for say a 1954, but CC used the same drawing to make the 1955 but the museum will tell you they don'...

Bret, rethinking this entire thing. There are guys who build model hulls using a CAD computer program, and make glass hulls from the program. (I know it is sinful to make a plastic hull for a wooden boat) No props, stuffing box, rudders, struts. They can do it a lot cheaper and faster then I can. I ...

Just thought of a possibly very large problem.. I know the CC museum doesn't have the line drawings for the 36' Commander from previous correspondence w/them..At least they don't know they have it if they do.. Personally I think the 37' is the same boat w/bow slanted forward. No idea about the 35'.....

Bret, Gee, just when I was going to ask you more questions about the 42'... Like did it have teak or mahogony decking?? King plank? I am going to assume you have the 35' Commander..LOL I think you have a interesting idea there. Although I fail to see how you could load and unload it but that is your...

Thanks!!!! Glad you took time to share that..

Seeking info on 1955 37' commander. Actually looking for a contact I can aggravate about next year when I am ready to build them since I am up to my neck in Corvette right now.. LOL

Oh although I have a connection for my Corvette, I would still love to find a connection for my next project, the Commander.......
