Re: Cruise Craft Restoration
Tengals123,<br /><br />Project is looking good. The boat looks like it is a good solid design. I would not cut the dash, though. That deck hatch is rather unique to your boat, even if it's not all that practical from a use standpoint. And I don't think a walkthrough windshield would look "funny" on the boat with a solid dash. Just being able to open the windshield is a nice feature. Maybe add some additional bracing to the dash and you can crawl throught the windshield out onto the deck to retrieve anchors, etc.<br /><br />Got any plans for instrumentation? Guages are cool, and you can't have too many!<br /><br />One more thing. I see you are cutting down the seat posts. Not a bad idea from a performance standpoint. There are lots of nice upholstered bucket style seats available. If you pic a seat style from a specific manufacturer, then you may be able to get the matching vinyl by the yard from them to cover the new rear seat you are planning. Just a thought.<br /><br />Keep us posted.<br /><br />Ps. Don't throw out any parts you remove, no matter what the condition. You will find that they come in handy when trying to get replacements, or showing to a parts counter person when you have to describe it. Also, the profile of old rubber/vinyl strips are handy for matching up to catalog cross sections.<br /><br />Mark.
<br />That stuffs alwfully expensive I though a litre was about a US Quart or so. So the Epoxy would be a 100 a gallon. Can't you have some shipped to you?<br /><br />
