Been a boater myself, but with outboard motors.

That is a sweet looking Chris Craft, bet you are looking forward to getting her on the water.

Don very nice looking Chris Craft! Should be a fun cruiser for the whole family, to get relief from those hot days! I used to live on an old Chris Craft 50 plus footer, in the Keys. It was donated to the facility I worked at. Very nicely equipted cabins. Nothing like falling asleep swaying in the water on a boat! Post some more shots.

Pat-Holy Cow! I will never complain about the 16 spark plugs again! Thats a serious work day for ya! Thanks for the compliment

Dave and Pat-You are not kidding about the money you throw into these things! Doing all the work myself I will probably have about $12K in the boat (with hours of labor) I could not afford to pay a marina to do the work we have been doing!

Brad-wood boats are tough, beautiful when done, BUT a huge pain. I have never owned one for the exact reasons you talked about.

Steve-Wow a 50 footer. I have had a few boats and none over 30 feet. Chris Craft is a great name. I pulled a through hull out and the hull was almost 2 inches thick!! Hope to have her on the water in a month. I know its not a hot rod but I will post some progress pictures on the way to the big dunk!!

Glenn-That is a whole new world of boating with those race boats and talk about money!!! Wow. Thank you for the nice remarks!

All I can say is Don better get moving putting that crate motor that is sitting on our shop floor in the boat. I have a hole in my piston and keep eying up that fresh motor just laying there. What's the worst that could happen.........he might stop speaking to me for a while, but I'm so lovable I know he would forgive me eventually!
