I've read enough of the rebuilds and know how projects creep and agree your timeline is more realistic.
So do the 80's boats have pour in foam? If so that would add time to any work done, to remove. Did the pour in create more/any corrosion problems?
I'm not ready to take either out but will...
Looking at the whole package makes sense. In the local market here those 2 are at the highest price point but both look in great condition. All the $1-3.5k boats look to have had a very rough life and needing a full resto.
Forgot to mention they are both 18.
Hi Guys,
I am considering getting a Super Sport. Is it only a matter of time until rivets leak?
I have my eye on both a mid 70's and mid 80's SS and they both look good and in original condition. They are both around the $5k mark.I have not reached out to the sellers and I'm not sure how many...
Chris Craft Lancers have fiberglass stringers without wood, from all my research, which is one reason why I got this boat. Like I stated, I'm trying to get this mechanically sound before going any further. I know the boat has issues, probably a few I can't see or have even thought about. I will...
That makes sense. I hear you on the spending money. It needs a new floor and all the poorly applied paint stripped from the hull as well. But I'm not doing any of that until it's proven mechanically.
I may not have explained it correctly about the thru hull raw water. The hull exhaust port in...
Hi Guys,
I have a 75 CC Lancer 19. I've never had it on the water and I got it from a deceased estate, so got no info regarding the boat.
From various internet searches I'm pretty sure it has a 270 on it, and I read they are all interchangeable 270-280. I had seen that it may also be a 275 for...
Hi,
I have a 75 CC Lancer that has a VP outdrive. From my research it should be either a 270/280, all the markings are covered in paint. I am wondering if the power steering ram will work from an 83 Four Winns Liberator 201?
If yes what would be involved/pitfalls?
I have the Liberator as a...
Hi Guys,
Quick intro....Yes I'm an Aussie, stranded on the shore of the East Coast USA....
New to power boats but have had a sailboat in the past. Restore muscle cars for fun (currently have 6) and figured I don't have enough projects so I would get myself a boat! Have worked on and around the...
Hi Guys,
I have a 383 chevy in my 75 CC Lancer. I'm looking to install a closed cooling system on it and aftermarket is quite expensive, nearly as much as I paid for the whole boat.
Engine has v belts and at this stage no power steering though I may add that in the future.
A guy local to me...
Hi Guys
I'm looking at this boat as a first boat purchase. Want to get the 2 kids out on the water and do some tubing,knee boarding and progress to wakeboarding/skating.
This boat has the 3.0 OMC Cobra engine/drive. The boat looks to be in incredible condition and has been garage kept it's...
