Restoring an old Cruisers Bar Harbor 257

[Christopher H]

Tips and tricks will be needed. Just started cleaning out mud dauber nests. Next wil be maintenance of the 260 Mercruiser, and lower unit.
Need help with finding operation and mechanical manual also.

You won't be able to download anything, but I think you can print pages.

As far as restoration of your boat, you might want to post those questions in the boat restoration/rebuilding part of this forum.

Did BoatNfo update their site? Last I checked it wasnt loading properly after Adobe Java stopped being supported

no, they have not updated their site.

some of us are still running adobe flash and can still read the site.

@Christopher H , my guess that is a mid 70's boat. Cruisers uses a lot of Balsa as core material (they still do). expect a bit of work on the hull

Dont look for tricks.You have a nice old boat to restore,take your time and do it right.Tips galore here!! ask specific questions in your post and you will get a wealth of knowledge to help you here.Use full strength bleach on the nests and try to keep it just to the nests.Rinse when done. 260 Mercruiser,piece if cake to work on.Probably mated up to an alpha drive....also piece of cake to maintain.Good luck!!
