Re: Keel Condition 70 Connie
Yes Well.., Somebody used my name so I thought I might respond. Those photos show only surface checking, lots of surface and near sub-surface darkening (possibly oil?) and not any kind of 'splitting'? I can't really see it from here but I'd say soak it with CPES (the real stuff) and paint it well. S...

Re: Dual exhaust for 283 in a 55' Sportsman
Call Jim Staib, www.finewoodboats.com ,815-344-9663, he's the copper exhaust pipe guy now. You appear to be referring to copper plumbing pipe (type L, M), that is NOT what Chris-Craft used? Copper plumbing pipe is measured ID (inside diameter) and will not fit the factory exhaust elbows ID. They use...

Hey,
You got any of them "Loosee" cushions left?
I have 1938 and 1946, 'original' cushions, photos of many others.

Re: Kapok Cushions & Spring Sets
Perhaps Not..,
But I would still like to see these, that you say are 'Original'?
I have many photos, myself, that lead to Originality.
Perhaps we could trade photos?

I do have original glass here, including MM drawings of same, for the 1938-39 Bugatti windshields.
I'm willing to bet that my local glass-guy can cut and "pencil-grind' the top edges for somewhere near $55 each, apiece?

These were the ceiling planks.
Note that where the surface was covered with a tightly attached frame or ceiling batten, the Red stain still shows.

If you remove that center panel, show us photos of what the surfaces are between the two? What stain had soaked in there? My #48510 was in storage from 1958 to 1973, sold on a yard sale for $150, then stored in a metal shed from 1973 until 2006-when the third owner retired and started to work on it....
