totally outrageous!! have you got a picture of the long roof just to the right of "tomahawk" ? these boats really do it for me. Even a couple for Kasey with the motors in the bow !! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/worship.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif

thanks for posting!!

[Woj]

Incredible pictures. Thanks for taking the time to post them.

There is some serious restoration work here.

It's a shame to put those in that dirty water!! Ron....

[Xplantdad]

Great pics Ken! Ahoy matey!

Did you happen to run into Denis Gilbert while you were up there??? http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/hmmm.gif

[Mr. Chevy]

Seems weird restoring our cars to keep them away from water/rain. Then restoring boats this beautiful only to put them into water and get them water spotted and dirty.. But I guess its all in the hobby...

[SUSQ]

Just incredible pieces of floating artwork! Not many guys around with the skills to do this type of restoration.

I love wooden boats... I grew up skiing behind a 52 Chris Craft 17ft utility with a Hercules flat head straight six...

1951 Chris Craft 17 Foot Utility... my dad bought it in NH for $500 in 1975... I learned to ski behind it when I was 4 in 1976.
