CC made a number of sterndrives in the late 60's and early 70's. Ive seen Freeports/Swingers, Torino's, Separators, some tri-hulls and even a Mustang. They originally came with the white Volvo outdrives youre describing.

The one on the dolly, that's a sterndrive right? I had seen a Sterndrive correct craft for sale in East Wakefield NH a couple years back. I didn't believe it was a real CC. It had an OMC looking white lower unit on it though. Is yours a newer Mercruiser?

I think it was Greg who got me worried about the keel board. We were initially up in the air as whether to replace that, as well as the transom, lifting ring area, etc. It all looked fine until we dug in and everything was wet- some was rotten. We replaced with composite so we made the decision to get all the wood out while we had it apart.
It sounds like the gas tank is shaped like a vee and sits right down in the hull? Interesting! Personally, Id probably be looking at other ways to mount it rather than relying on the foam, but thats just me... the more CC's I restore, the more I find myself becoming part of the "no foam" camp. |

Looked at wood in keel, test bored holes seems to be very dry. on your bfn did it seem dry or could you tell right away that it needed replaced. ya got me worried now
 this is definatly the time to decide now. do to some of the design issues on these v drives { gas tank] we will be reinstalling foam it helps hold tank in place under floor.look at bottom pic thats were tank goes in front of 2nd bulkhead

Jeff, its looking great. Making those bulkheads with the notches for the strakes is fun, isnt it?
Did you decide to not replace the wood in the keel? On our BFN, it was soaked- Im glad we took it out. And now the million dollar question... foam or no foam? |

That is a beautiful boat Jeff. Winters are long up here you know that so post those pictures, it's been a little quiet on the projects around here lately.
Very nice homemade boat dolly too. It is sooo nice to be able to move the boat around in the shop rather than stationary. |

All the wood was rotted to the point that it could not be used for a template except the stringers, thay were not rotted but very water loged. I used a straight edge and construction paper, and hot glue gun to make templates, worked very well
