You're absoulutely right, it would work well. It is my speculation that many people "borrowed" that very untraditional design. It gives the boat more control and tacking radius. J-boats have had that design for as long as I can remember. It my be a fun project. I assume you don't have the ...

Mario wins, hands down. Let me guess, she's probably gorgeous too.
Some guys have all the luck, nice find.

I was born and raised in FL and my Chrysler and I currently reside in MI.
Coincidence, I think not.

Scott has simplified both my degrees into a couple of sentences. :shock: And , as usual, he could not be more right. Get a keel on it first. The test that Scott is desribing is the perfect way to make a cutter. The tricke part comes when you want to run that fine line of stability and performance. I...

Yes Mark,
I definately do. I had to move my jack from the tongue and on to the body. I don't put alot of pressure on it. I have found that I don't need to use it when I use less tongue. And I only try to use as much as I need.

OK, so its in Monroe, but hey.

Definately, more specifically I think they mean the stanchions, probably they just didn't know what they are called.

Go get er' Mike, don't worry we won't tell your first mate.

Kinda sad really. You'd think maybe the person could have donated it or something. My concern is that younger people will not have inexpensive starter boats available and they will think that sailing is only for the rich. I've seen boats worse than that used for training youth and to help get them i...

I wish I had a picture. I will try to get one. Picture this. a small box with open top epoxied to the inner wall facing the cockpit in the inside of the starboard lazerette locker. I hope that makes sense. All three, or in my Dad's case 4, lay next to each other. That was std equipment on some C&...

I think Mark may be a few rolls short.


Thanks again Mark!

She's very nice Mark.
I know this is not a Chrysler, but it is near you and my Dad is a big C&C guy. This are not as nice for cruising like a Chrysler, but man are these things fast!

Insert NCIS Mark Harmon Boat in basement reference here. lol

Lazy jacks!

Harken makes a great kit.

Bruce,
Where did you end up going?
Put in at Harrison?
Anchor Bay?
St Clair?
Sorry, living vicariously!

Thanks,

Bimini and misc.

IMHO, I have painted a lot of motorcycles and tanks, definately go HVLP, and do yourself a favor get two sizes, Regular and detail. Then practice. If you need anything to practice on I have a large barn, you can spray till you hearts content. :wink: But seriously, a good practice technique (this wor...

We Michiganders sure are lucky this week. The weather has been perfect.
Enjoy my friend, we may have to do a Chrysler get-together next season out your way.
Not to give you an extra task, but you know how we love pictures here!

Enjoy.

Come on Mark! your way behind. I resolved to not get my boat sailing in August. :shock: I then resolved myself to finishing my conversion on my barn in order to massage the boat in it. One 9' x 9' steel sliding door complete with new headers and about 85 hours in labor, and she should be going in th...

Mark sorry to drag u in, but I must admit as well that I have watched more Lions games this season thatn ever. I sincerely hope they can do it this year, this beautiful state we live in desereves it. Just don't tell the Denver Broncos I said that. I've been their fan since age 5. Oh, and EE, your st...

I always appreciate an invite like that. Great choice on the slip. I enjoyed the thrashing of the Vols a couple weeks ago. It's the wierdest thing, they're always saying wierd things around here like "State plays Notre Dame this weekend." And all I can wonder is how that can be, since Flor...

Great rebuttle from all. I agree with the crazy southerners, that I am a crazy notherner. I was born and raised in the great state of FL (still a Gator fan.). I left in college and go back at least once a year. I miss it greatly, however the only thing that makes man make silly decisions more than a...

I agree with Bondo, it will come. I wanted to express my love of the place I grew up and learned to sail, FL. "Island Time" is how much of us lived growing up. Show up late in flip-flops, with a care-free attitude. Unfortunately I found a couple other boats named this, so upon playing with...
