Chrysler Sailors Forum

When I win the lottery. Apparently Hereshoff built cannons too.

Nice vids, thanks. Since I've never actually sailed my C22 yet nor been aboard one, that slight humming noise that can sometimes be heard is coming from the keel cable?

Nice paint job on this one:

I am also selling my lovely 1982 Victoria 18 to help finance the purchase of another C-22 so if anyone is interested here is the ad:

I no longer have a table saw. I removed the first digit of my ring finger almost twenty years ago with it. Always respect your tools, especially power tools. I've known three friends who own table saws and they've all managed to remove parts of various fingers with them over the years. I'll have to...

Wow, went for $760. Man, I wish I still lived up north.

You got it. I'll pm my address.

I'm tired of this thing taking up room in the garage. I'd rather not mess around with shipping it, but if anyone is close to the Dallas area they can have it.

I just noticed on http://chryslersailing.lizards.net/ that this boat (This Side Up) seems to have been owned by a Jerry Randall and it is a 78 not a 79 model.

On the Hudson river 30 miles south of Albany near the Rip Van Winkle bridge and yes I do like to get close to nature Sailing, Kayak, hiking in the woods for the silence I am probably what people call a tree hugger. I lived a little south of you in Kingston, NY for a few years and really liked it a ...

It being a C26, its a pretty good bet that the motor tray is cracked on one of the rear corners.. 8) That's it exactly. Travis, the boat is at Collin Park Marina on Lake Lavon. The following thread had some advice on what to look for and maybe some others can chime in. http://chryslersailors.com/di...

Well I have my C22 project waiting for me in the backyard along with a small Victoria 18 in the garage so on consideration I decided I shouldn't push the first mate too far.

I took a quick amateur look and didn't see much wrong except a slighly cracked motor mount. I think I'm going to pass on it but I told the owner I'd mention it here.

Could be a deal if you live close and have a trailer.

My 5 minutes of research seems to advise that the fruit is ripe when about the size of a normal lime. If it's hard when you squeeze it then it's not quite ready. The limes will turn from green to yellow before falling from the tree, but I would pick them when they're still green and give a bit to ge...

I'll join the chorus. Inspiring stuff. Thanks for posting it.

Wow, looks like a close call to me. The crew seemed pretty unfazed by it, maybe they do it all the time? Cool video.

Hmmmm, not very far from me... There also looks to be three other of the smaller (14' to 16') Chryslers for sale on Craigslist in Austin too. Would be good to see some pics of the 22'.

I have a 9.9 and would love to have the manual. Hope three responses constitutes enough interest.

A friend who was recently trying to get his old Corvette (fiberglass, of course) running managed to catch the thing on fire and he said it was out of control very quickly. Also said it took the fire dept. several hours to get the blaze completly doused as flames kept reappearing from the smoking rui...

And I thought I was the lucky one. Nice one Mario! Have fun. How do you go about getting put on the waiting list to do such a thing btw?

Thanks everyone. The problem is that motor is about the biggest the Victoria can handle weight-wise. Maybe best thing to do is get that motor since the Victoria has to have one anyway, and then see if it will work at all on the Chrysler.

I am trying to find an outboard that will work on both a Chrysler 22 and a Victoria 18. What I have in mind is a 3.5 hp four stroke Tohatsu: http://www.onlineoutboards.com/Tohatsu-3-5-hp-MFS3-5BL.html It's more than enough for the Victoria but is it strong enough for the Chrysler? At the moment I sa...

Very nice. My hometown here has a few things going for it but beautiful scenery ain't necessarily one of 'em. Looks like you had fun.

Yep, it was the end of a long day so I was happy just to get it off the trailer, good advice though. I'm afraid there are several other cringe worthy situations going on at the moment with my current set up. @Banshi, by waterproofing paint you mean some kind of barrier coating yes? @Mario, how much ...

So this is the current state of my C22. The previous owner had obviously done some work on the boat as the hull below the water line has been sanded smoth so that none of the many white "blisters" that can be seen are raised as far as I can tell. Sorry, this is my first fiberglass boat, bu...

There's a short article in this months Good Old Boat magazine about replacing the dropboards with a folding Plexiglas door arrangement.

There also looks to be a TMI-27 for sale down on the Texas coast:

Gulf Coastal version of a winter checklist. Put sticky note on bulletin board to remind me that after Christmas I remove Myers Dark from boat and replace with cheap Brandy. Until April. Dockside use only of course. Sorry Alan couldn't resist 8) Of course the downside is that the July sticky note sa...

Lake Grapevine eh? Man, I work in Irving right next to there. Now if I only had an extra 12k laying around...
