Not a Nautique, But a Cool Boat Project None the Less ( 1960 Chris Craft )

I spent the next 2 weekends fabrication and fitting the new bottom boards, and got 1/2 of them mocked up. I ended up breaking 2 boards when I was bending them, but after soaking them longer I ended up getting it.





Going to take Easter weekend off to go camping, then I expect to CPES everything i have mocked up, and the install this half of the bottom with 5200 and maybe 500 screws.

That is some serious dedication!

I wish I could say "Labor of Love" but the last 4 weeks just seems like Labor.

Quick Update, I got one side glued and screwed, along with fairing. I also started shaping the front boards on the other half. They will sit on there for a week with wet towels keeping them moist to try and get the to stay in their shape. They still need a little fitting, but overall on their way.
