This year we are taking a beautiful 1952 Chris Craft Racing Runabout HAPPY DAYS R-19-415 to the Lake Arrowhead Show June 4 & 5th 2011.  She will be a show stopper.

She has been stored with us for 3 years:  wood rotten, screws broken, decayed, all planks cracked ..........needing a total restoration.  Well, she got one.

Engine removed.

Boat Flipped.

Old bottom removed.

New frames, keel, chines, stem and gripe.

New 3M5200 bottom.

Then she was flipped for all new side and top planking and bunging.

AND then lots and lots of sanding and fairing.

PERFECT

Here comes the stain and finish work.

The black walnut is an eye striking contrast.

Beautiful.

More and more varnish

keep you posted................
