Re: 1958 Cavalier Hull Damage
That's a good question. I just did one of these last week. I posted that late last night. Yes, it would have been better if I had said to make the cut with more of an angle in towards the center so that the new wood that I'm cutting (that is attached to the damaged wood) is just a little bigger than...

Re: 1958 Cavalier Hull Damage
Here's my 2 cents, for what that's worth......One thing that you could try would be to make a Dutchman.

prop shaft for 1947 Chris Craft 17' Deluxe Runabout
Do any of you know the length of the prop shaft for a 1947 17' Chris Craft Deluxe Runabout? A year and a half ago I dropped off a prop shaft at a company recommended for doing this work by my ACBS chapter. I had used this prop/shaft repair company before and had been satisfied as I only lived an hou...

Re: Stuffing Box Packing - 1961 Chris Craft Ski Boat
Hi, there is an excellent article published April of 2005 via Compass Marine Services in Vancouver, BC about this. It was pointed out a week or so ago by another Woody Boater. I googled Compass Marine Services, and the results came up. On my search, the 4th subject down was "Compass Marine How To Ar...

Re: 1968 17' SS Ski Boat
Hi, The 1968 Chris Craft catalog has a picture of the SS Ski Boat (I have 2 catalogs) where you can see the colors, but a better example is sold on eBay right now. There is a guy selling production photos of many years of Chris Craft models. When getting on the "Chris Craft" site on eBay (more of th...
