    Cuddy crusier

    Also post lost of pics and updates. Your project, no matter what the scale, will most likely help someone else down the road with their project. Everyone helped with questions I asked but also just seeing how things are done on so many threads is a great resource for present and future "What in...

    1962 Chris Craft Holiday 20’ bucket list resto

    Great work Sam, I just got caught up with this awesome project. How many boats will you be able to pull down for the Mt Dora boat show? I assume this one might be ready? I was going to say I don't think you will be allowed to socialize with glass boaters once you hang with the woodies but you...

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    Thanks guys, feeling better already! Hitting the drums more this weekend than I was planning, a drummer friend unfortunately got Covid and I got thrown 2 of his gigs, much less pressure gigs than I did the last few weekends so looking forward to playing and more importantly he is feeling better...

    Astroglass 1989 full rebuild

    Yeah definitely a weird state for rain coverage and storms. I was at work once which is just 8 miles from home and the admiral is texting me that it is bad at home and thought she was joking, got home and looked like a hurricane had blown through. I saw your post and it said it was raining all...

    2023 Splash of the Year Nominations!

    Sorry guys, right now I don't see it getting splashed any time soon, too busy and too frustrated to deal with what still needs to be done. Buck

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    Well it's been a very frustrating few months. I have not splashed and don't know when I will, had to leave the boat alone for a few reasons. The mechanic had the motor for 2 months and the only thing I can say is that I will never use a marine mechanic again, 3rd one I have used and disappointed...

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    I am so ready to splash, unfortunately the motor is not. I have the '77 merc 40hp at a mechanic and he is waiting on parts. He has done a lot already and says it is in great shape and should last a long time. Here are what I am hoping to be the last pics before the splash. 1st pic is the inside...

    New Splashes

    Hey guys, yes Sam is correct I am ready to splash the boat but I am in motor purgatory, the mechanic working on it is waiting for parts, hopefully this week I will know what is up. I have a trolling motor I could throw on it, would that work? I don't want that to be my splash either, fingers...

    1988 Bayliner Capri 1950 Resto Begins

    I think everyone on this forum who has done a resto has cut through the hull. I freaked when I did it but like everyone had said no big deal, just make sure you glass over it. My boat company was Lyn Craft but was nicknamed thincraft, so not a lot of confidence in hull thickness to begin with. I...

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    I can finally say that this project is ready for power! I still have to mount the step pads and bimini top (same navy blue as the seats) but will do that after the seats are fixed to the deck. I just installed the windshield yesterday as it has been frustrating. I still have the original in the...

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    I do to! Not enough smiles during the rebuild, a lot of #&$)(*#(&%#$ and other choice words! It will be worth it, at least I feel it is now going the pace of 2 steps forward and one step back instead of 1 step forward and 2 steps back.

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    That is the plan Reserector! Hopefully sooner than later, I am shooting for the end of Aug but don't want to do it Labor day weekend, being a newbie on the water. I don't have a pic yet but got all the cleats installed Sat and came into a snag with the manual air horn install yesterday, it came...

    Thanks guys, getting there slowly. Sam, I already was looking at the meets coming up, hoping to be there with this boat! She should float now! It is amazing how things go well until they don't and then everything slows to a crawl. I was dry fitting the screws into the transom for the drain plug...

    '65 Lyn Craft Seabreeze 1500 Sport Runabout

    Wow it has been a while since my last update. I have been working on the boat since my last post and really ramped up in the last few weeks. What slowed me down was my decision to put a clear coat on the outside of the hull. I am happy I did it but it did add a ton of hours to the work. I don't...

    1962 Chris Craft Holiday 20’ bucket list resto

    Looking great Sam! I wish I were closer, miss working with wood, putting all those projects off til my boat is splashed. I think that cut is called a rolling bevel. I saw someone explain it somewhere, sorry I can't remember where I saw it. I was going to have to do it on the bow edge rail on...
