interesting way of doing the electrical in this boat

http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb327/kevindreher/nola45.jpg i would love to take my dog nola out in the boat...but she is a bit to big and clumsy to be moving around on deck...and inside the boat...but i will probably try at some point...she likes boats i have had her out in my wakeboard boat ...

that looks really great and functional....which is the most important feature

thanks scott, i will keep a look out for something similar if not the same thing.

thanks 69shark....your boat did clean up really nice, cant wait until mine is all cleaned up. i saw that you put new mast spreader brackets...or what ever they are called..that hold the spreaders to the mast....i have a broken one and was wondering were you ordered yours from. and its nice that the ...

a few new photos of the boat......i managed to get most of the ice out of the cabin, cleaned it up it was dirty. no to get it off the trailer and drop the keel and lots of sanding..cant wait.

mariner, i really like the look of the white, what type of fabric did you use on that. looks sharp.

thanks, there is nothing but good info on this site. i am glad i came across this one

what type of fabric are you using for your cushions i plan on starting mine in the next month or so. i have no cushions to start from. are you covering old cushions or starting for new foam too. thanks kevin

congrats on the safe trip home with your new boat

thanks beady, i cant wait to get a shot of it floating in the water with the sun behind it. thats my kind of light haha.

merry christmas, have a great holiday season

cutting the boards will be my last option....i am going to get the boat in the garage then start tinkering with things. thanks agian for all the info. i am sure there will be more questions in the future.

very nice, the teak looks great. the glass work looks like it was quite the project. good work...nice workshop.
kevin

thank you it is a good looking boat..haha. and the trialer seems to be in really good shape. i believe the hatch boards are original....but not totally sure. they have the 45 degree cut in the bottom of the boards. the guy who sold me the boat told me that he offered his kids half the sail price if ...

thanks for all the good info and pics. i am having problems with the boards that go into the living area. they do not fit in the slides very well. the bottom board goes allmost to the bottom of the v channel. the second is about in inch above the lowest one and the top board rest a little uneven abo...

thanks for the info...so far i have had zero trouble with the trailer bouncing around on my while moving about the boat. could be all the extra ice in the bottom of the boat. but i'll keep it in mind. thanks agian

well, it was a white knuckle drive home, hoping that the aged tires and bearing would make the journey with out problems. they did just fine, even with three to four inches of ice in the bottom of the boat....which is not cool. but overall the boat seems all there and in good shape. lots of cleaning...

apostle islands to isle royale sounds like a great trip, that is a lot of open water. how long would you estimate that trip to be.

nice boat mainer, i really like the sails. thanks for the pic, its going to be a long winter it will be nice to have a project like the new boat to keep me busy. my sailing experience is next to none, when i was younger my dad bought this old 10 or 12 foot sailboat that we used for two summers befor...

mcrandall, the hockey reference might be jamie langenbrunner he grew up in cloquet mn about 15 miles from moose lake and he has a cabin on a lake outside of moose lake a couple of miles.

yeah i managed to talk the guy down a little in price. ok a decent amount...but the boat has no cushions, out board, and i told him about other problems i read about. mostly on this site, like keel brackets and cables. he also said that he would snow blow around it or have his kids shovel it out. ni...

thanks for the warm welcome, i have been lurkin on this site for about a month and just about read every post related to the chrysler 22.....so much great info. i live in northern mn, moose lake, its a small town about 30 mins south of duluth. i found the boat on craigslist...then agian on this foru...

well, this saturday i should be the new owner of a 77 chrysler c22. 1200 dollars later anyway. i have been reading up on smaller sailboats for the last few months and this group of people are more dedicated to their boats then any others i've read about. hopefully its a good thing....haha. looking f...
