Ya, I have a 30' Constellation, which sounds a lot smaller than your woodie, but I have still learned a lot from it. That decking isn't going...
Two things from my experience, First: As to "no significant rot", those front salon window frames are totally shot, as you can see the rot in...
Ditto with what Charlie said. Chris Craft did make a limited number of jet-drives when that fad first caught on back in the 60s. The Mt. Dora...
I lucked out. They started making the switch away from the old-style chris craft mechanical guages in 72, and even though mine's a 71 it somehow...
I would like to convert my original twin 427s to closed cooling. Does anyone know whether any of the kits I am able to locate online will work, or...
How did twin 427s find their way (or fit) into a 30' boat? Are you sure you got your hull size correct?
Any idea what the going rates are for this type of work?
So, she's up on the hard getting a bunch of deferred maintenance performed....many thanks to the previous owners, who were kind enough to cover up...
Sure, I will take some pics for you and post them tomorrow. I have a 38' Regal, and boy does it have a nice setup for the head. One of the largest...
Just wanted to weigh in on this subject as well... My boat that I just bought is currently on the hard getting a bunch of deferred maintenance...
Artwork, I think over time you'd probably be happiest sizing the diesels appropriately to the boat's intended cruise speed (18kts or so), and then...
Boy, I am jealous of those diesels, and of that aluminum hull. 10GPH to 7kts comes out to roughly the same 3/4ths of a mile per gallon that I am...
I have a 38' Roamer Regal (enclosed upper salon) with original 427 power, and I am trying to get a baseline number on some of the boat's basic...
This is probably a dumb question, but did the CAPAC units come on steel boats, or just aluminum? Is it something that I would be well-advised...
That thing is way overpriced, considering it needs at a minimum: $20,000 New Plumbing $55,000 Replacement of Main Engines...
If your boat came with that option, then there would be two pull-switches set into a stainless baseplate on your control panel. Obviously,...
That should be an easy one, they made lots of those engines. Try these guys: DIESEL SPECIALISTS, Inc. 8784 S. Choctaw Dr. Baton Rouge, LA...
Yeah, I too have seen people running a/c units off inverters but I always kinda scratched my head when I saw that. It is certainly possible to do...
That's a good suggestion. Can't believe I didn't think of having the existing one serviced instead of putting a new one in. The installation...
Sad to see her end up that way. Shame you couldn't have found someone interested in restoring her.
