SeaCraft Bowrider "CJ"

[65Bowrider]

Introducing "CJ", a 1966 SeaCraft Bowrider, purchased last summer by Carl, named by Jeanne. It was stripped of all 41 year old rigging. In September, Carla & Skip brought her to Palm Beach for restoration. She is not finished, but coming along nicely.

Opened up forward cockpit from the underside, found water & mulch. Replaced wood, capsulated in epoxy, resealed & glassed over the cut seam.

Forward deck also had a problem to fix. Again, replaced wood capsulated in epoxy & epoxied cut seam.

Installed new fuel tank replacing 110# SS tank with 20# plastic. Special thanks to Don at HermCo for his expertise and installation. Then C & J inspecting the prime job.

Now for the paint. Capt. Chuck, your technique really works!...THANK YOU!

Notice all the holes missing in the dash!!!

Thanks to all members for providing great 'how to' tips on this site....and to Jason for starting all this in 2002.
Regards, Skip & Carla....working together on this project.
