Hi, just joined today as I am looking for a project CC and found a potential one nearby. I am a newbie but have restored historic homes for a living so time to try a boat (certifiably insane). Looking for an insight on the 22' express (not a bullnose) I am looking at in the picture. The fiberglass salon roof is gone, and the question is were they one piece removable or were they glassed in place or ? Thanks!   ------------- Lost in wood. |

Bob, Welcome to CCfan. It sure looks like you are "insane" to take on a project like that but in all honesty, I have seen worse so keep moving forward. The larger CC's are rare plus not many were made so I'm going to say finding a salon roof may be next to impossible but keep looking. Information is limited as well. The only info I know of is in our reference section and that's just a few pictures. Keep us informed and we love to see more pictures.. ------------- /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 < |

The black boat on the right looks to be a Chris Craft. Maybe a Cavalier (plywood). I would think that If you are not dead-set on that particular model, with just a little more searching you could find a more complete candidate. Finding that top could take a long while. |

Thanks for replies. I'm going to look at it again this week, take some pictures and post them, maybe this is just a little past my skill level. Thanks again, BB ------------- Lost in wood. |

A boat like that should be free for the hauling. It would cost the seller $ just to landfill it. ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |

You're most likely right... They 3700 for it. Here is the link: http://boise.craigslist.org/boa/5334777420.html ------------- Lost in wood. |

You mentioning a "bullnose" had me wondering if you did find the wrong site. ------------- /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 < |

Anyway, a fiberglass overlay is the kiss of death to a wood boat, right Pete? ------------- “Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.” Ben Franklin |
