WANT TO FOLLOW A RESTORATION START-TO-FINISH?

I'm informally polling the CCF community.
Would anyone be interested in following the restoration of a mid-eighties 2001 Ski Nautique? If CCF site rules allow I want to post updates, pictures, and/or multimedia as the project progresses.

If there is enough interest I will produce material documenting tips, techniques, and materials used. We can learn together. Drop me a line or reply if this sounds like something you would like to see.

Thanks for the cool site Keith, it is truly a CC fan's dream come true.

Encouraged.

Really no need to ask. Have at it. Threads like that are very popular, the two biggest ones that come to mind are weeding the pumpkin patch and a 351 from scratch. Threads like that make good winter reading. Good luck with the project and remember....lots of pictures.

I saw your pics. I went through the same thing when the ducts between the bow and engine compartment became brittle. LOTS of water that went into the air scoop ended up in the foam instead of the bilge. Thanks for the input on restoration postings.

I now have and air box were all the vents and cable enter and from there to the bilge they go inside pvc pipes (all of the resto´s here went that way, and from where i took the info to do my set up) so no water should enter to the foam..anyway my boat once sunk (not literally but flipped and it remain floating with water to the deck level..) so I can say that 80% of water in the foam is due to that event...

Have too many ladies sitting on one side of the boat?

I was going to ask the same question. but he usually keeps them well-balanced across the back, as I recall.
