Boat Buzz

This boat will not be at CCR 2014, it is landlocked on Lake Chelan, WA but is available for sale! Another great example of a Northwest cruiser, only landlocked...... Are you ready to attend the biggest Chris Craft gathering in the world and come aboard and tour some of our boats?

A very rare example and a classic award winning vessel, Seneca has been impeccably maintained by only 3 owners in 56 years. A complete strip down to bare wood was done by current owner to bring her to show quality. She lives undercover on Lake Union in fresh water and this shot was taken on the way home from CCR 2012. She will be at CCR 2014 for you to climb aboard and view!

DUDE!

That is American Beauty's little sister!

Troy in ANE

Another fine example of boats in the great PNW, Curt Erickson on Secret Island, B.C. with his triple cockpit runabout.

It is a sad day in the PNW, one of our restored classics has been sold and is heading east, she will not be with us for CCR 2014. The full story is up today on Woody Boater. But we will still have the biggest number of stunning boats because other Chris Craft owners are coming! Will you be joining us for the biggest Chris Craft party in the world?

Another stunning example of a Northwest restored cruiser, she had an engine room fire in 2007 and was completely rebuilt at a tune of 300K, Also with the C.C. pontoon boat as a dinghy with a MerCruiser inboard. They travel every summer up the inside passage into Canada with the family.

This 1951 X-34 Commander will not be at the 2014 CCR unless some rescues it from the auction! Rocky, the owner passed away a few months ago and the family does not want it. It has lived in a boathouse for 20 years, rebuilt engines 2 years ago and was undergoing a rewire and new batteries. Contact the Port of Everett, WA. for info, the back storage bill of 1,600.00 will take the boat. It needs a new interior, but the hardware is there for some one looking for a cruiser project! This is the sistership to "ITCHIN" which is a few photos above......

I'm thinking Ron, who just sold "ITCHIN", made out so well (That's not a very common story) he should grab this one and do it again!

He thought about it! But decided at his age he needed a finished vessel not a project...

Does anybody want a project? This boat need a new caretaker and I already have too many projects on my own. If you think you are ready to finish the restoration of a small cruiser, this may be a good project for you! In the yard in Everett, WA and the family is willing to hand over the title. Someone please step up and save this one from the crusher, both engines fresh rebuilds, wiring is half done and interior needs redone. Lived in a boathouse for 20 years.......

We have the full outline for the weekend on the website along with more pics! There are now 43 boats registered and puts us on track for over 100 boats for 2014, why would you miss the largest gathering of Chris Craft's in the world? This pic is from last year, want a tour of the largest cruisers built? Join us for 4 days of fun!

If you have not done so, Please contact Dave at "Bone Yard Boats". He can get it in his next issue and if time is limited he can send out an e-mail. This thing should move fast with the right exposure.

Do any of you know if TECO II is going to be there this year? And is she still For Sale?

That thing is BEEEautiful!

Since I am already making plans for Dora 2015 I think I will have to plan on PNW 2016.

Just show up and get it over with! You know you want to be here, I have 6 empty bunks, do you want the side stateroom, the bunk room, or the v-berth?

Teco II is for sale, but Deb will not take less than 175K for it. I walk past it every week wondering when she will have a new owner.

Completely restored here in Seattle, At Last is a 57' Constellation that will be at CCR 2014 for the second year and will be open for you to tour this vessel. Why would you miss the biggest Chris Craft show in the world and miss the experience of the largest fleet of cruisers anywhere?

We now have 45 boats registered for the 2014 CCR! Last year at this point we only had 26, so I would predict....... Maybe 120 this year? Go online and register now for THE BIGGEST CHRIS CRAFT SHOW IN THE WORLD! ChrisCraftRendezvous.com

As of this morning, we now have 60 boats registered! Come join us for an epic gathering in Port Orchard and see the most footage in one weekend anywhere! Another possible boat coming this year for the first time if you buy her and come with us.....

We are having our last committee meeting before CCR this Saturday in Seattle, if anyone wants to volunteer for the docking crew or other tasks please let me know! We are planning on having over 120 boats this year and will need a lot of help with rafting out, maybe 3 deep at the Port Orchard Marina. Here is a pic of our boat from last year at CCR. Look mom, no rails! Yes, we are in the middle, (start) of our restoration process, we showed up the first 2 years with only one engine running, think what it takes to park 46 tons of mahogany on a single screw, last year we had both engines running but only one good fuel tank...... Every boat is welcome regardless of condition, we don't care if you tow it here, just show up! Look for our page in the latest Brass Bell for info on the event.

If any of the boats at the PNW CCR have FWC'ed W's I would love to get some pictures of how they are plumed and routed.

We now have 80 boats registered! This will be the biggest event in CCR history! We need everybody registered before July 5th to guarantee enough room in the marina and also for the Friday and Saturday night dinners. Print your forms out and get them in soon, we now expect over 130 boats will attend.

We will be at the event with our 1940 42ft DCEB Tabu.

Should be a lot of fun. Lots music and dancing.

Yeah! That's the ticket! Sorry I'm going to miss it!

92 boats now signed up to join us!

Thanks! I know it will be a wonderful time!

The 25th CCR is on!

On Wednesday night we had 26 boats

On Thursday night we had 62 boats! More pics to come..........

I see the homage to "At Last" on your Poster! Nice, Very Nice!
