Re: Chrysler Sailors Looking for a new board owner
Scott you've done a great job keeping it afloat all these years --- one of the many reason the chrysler 22's and 26's remain in demand and have value is the active users forum that is often cited -- filled with DIY repair and maintenance guides and documentation -- the key to owning an old boat is s...

Re: What did you replace the burlap cloth with?
I removed the nasty burlap fabric and rotting foam and nasty glue a while ago --- I'm planning wood strips -- big job but would give it a warm yachty upgrade look -- not a large area so shouldn't be too pricey -- not sure what to do in the berths -- tempted to do the same... large winter job..

Re: Gas tank question
I use a plastic 3 gallon that fits easily in the rear lazarette -- but I need a much longer range and wanted about 10 gallons -- was thinking about a flexible bladder somewhere down below with a auxiliary fuel pump -- but might be unsafe -- is this the gas tank discussed above ? -- http://www.attwoo...
