Here's one from the 80's 1953 Chris Craft Riviera. Anyone recognize anything two slips over? (hint) it's a Inca Gold Torino w/ a Jet Drive. Behind the Torino is an Inca Gold Southwind 20 w/ the convertible top up.  |

That was back in the day when you could find those boats out in somebody's field or in their barn and pick them up fairly cheap. ------------- |

Al,
Do you have any current wood restorations going on or just working on glass? One question I always have is what's you favorite varnish? ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Beautiful boats.
I could hardly tell which photos were from the 80's what with the crisp clear pictures and the stylish cloths.

Pete, Calendar's open. I don't really favor any particular varnish over another. I do however dislike Interlux. A high quality (Badger) brush, on the otherhand is a major key. And apply every single coat as if it were the final coat. Not only is it a good practice, but it also saves some time during the sanding of every coat. Okie, Stylin' profilin' brothers were helpers. I'm the guy behind the vintage Kodak. |

Al,
Interesting about the Interlux. I remember using it and didn't like it ether but it was so many years ago I don't remember what I didn't like! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

Al,
The "CC" in your screen name doesn't stand for "Correct Craft" does it! It just occurred to me! ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |

| Pete, It actually did. Years ago, a co-worker started calling me Doctor Correct Craft. So, when I joined here in 04, I was trying to come up with a user name. My wife yelled from the other room, "DrCC, Duh!" |

Wow Dr.CC - Boats I used to dream about!
When I was a kid vacationing in NH, they would roar around the lakes. Special talent to have and take care of those babies! Where are you from? I've got a buddy who restores Lymans like that, you two could talk for weeks on end. ------------- http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=421&yrstart=1981&yrend=1985 - EX-NAUTI84 |

Nauti84, If you're into Lymans, you might like this:

Lymans are expensive. My entry into project boats was looking for a 15' Lyman outboard for a couple years. You can buy a decent Correct Craft project boat for less money than one of those 15' Lymans without an engine!
I won a 15' Lyman on ebay with an original trailer ($500). Seller was selling for a friend and said he didn't know much about boats, but it appeared in good condition. We went to pick it up and it was firewood. They seem to go for $2500-$3500. No brainer to me what kind of boat I'm buying for $2500-$3500, not a Lyman outboard. ------------- |

Bruce, serves you right for looking at something other than an inboard. But then if that deal had worked out, we'd probably never met you. Lyman's weren't always that expensive, but I've seen them go up over the years. We've got a '61 Lyman 21', which I just can't seem to wrap up and it's been 7yrs now.
Nauti84, while I love that Lyman you attached, that center console is really, really nice IMO. Al, I really hope to meet you some day. Amazing stuff. ------------- ReidP /diaries/details.asp?ID=231&yrstart=1971&yrend=1975 - 1973 Mustang |

Nauti84, Beautiful boats! I haven't seen any Lymans on this lake. They seem to be popular in the New England states. They do appear to be higher quality than the lap strakes here.
ReidP, I would probably enjoy a sit-down chit-chat. And maybe a shop tour. Thanks, AT PS: Here's a little better pic of the '52 Resorter.
