Guys I have horrible news on the Chris Craft... There was a bad fire in the welders shop about a week ago and the boat was a total loss the only thing left was the tub and the motors. Insurance paid out pretty well and I was able to buy a 74' Trojan F26 on a trailer this week. Its just not the same though. I couldnt find any Roamers even close to what I paid for this one. If anyone ever has leads on one please please pm me.

Maybe it just wasn't meant to be and it didn't happen after you dropped a ton of cash better luck with the 26

Darn it, I was really looking forward to watching this rebuild...I am really sorry to hear this..

I will keep an eye out, living really close to one of the largest lakes in the West, I do seem them every once in a while, so if I run into something, I will be sure to let you know.

What a sad ending to a story I was really getting into. Hope your next project ends happily.
