    1962 Chris Craft Holiday 20’ bucket list resto

    Also had our Bi-annual Suwannee River AOMCI get together this weekend . River was at flood levels and a ton of crap floating down stream . That made the boating a little sketchy but we made the best of it . Only one sheared pin out of the lot of us luckily..

    Repair and Moving '57 Chris Craft from Oregon to Texas

    Welcome ! Nice CC ! Capri? If original bottom it may swell up enough to slow any leaks . My experience is limited to just my current CC project . If the crack is just localized I believe you might can do a Dutchman’s patch ? A lot of YouTube stuff out there good and bad . I guess your just...

    I do get a bit claustrophobic . The smaller MRI machines I just can’t handle .. As long as I can move around I’m fine ..while in NOLA we spent some time at the big park in the sculpture museum.. This guy wasn’t very talkative but I could tell where his head was at .. LOL !
