Wooden Boats

Shreddy · 10-29-2020, 10:27 AM

I bought a classic Chris Craft toward the end of the summer and intend on restoring/freshening it up. It's got an old Chevy 283 in it that needs to be rebuilt. Exterior looks decent, but I plan to strip it all the way down, flip it, and put a no soak bottom on, re-stain, varnish, etc., etc. Interior will also need a facelift as well. I've read Danenberg's bible on restoring wooden boats and I'm looking forward to this project.

I've called Lakes Region Wooden Boats a few times, but no answer. Was looking to pick their brain on some costs and assistance. Any other good shops or even hobbyists to recommend on a project like this?

Thanks!
