    My Last Project for a While 1969 Chris Craft

    I have spent the past two and a half years, since the completion of my 21 GT redoing this boat. First photos of what it looked like when I we bought it. Parnell

    She's a classy girl! So you went from a 16, to a 21, to a 38? You don't mess around with the 2 foot-itis.

    Looking forward to the refurb pictures.

    Thanks for the nice comment She is a classic anyways. FYI I went from a 41 Saber to a 16 Donzi so no logic to my foot-itis

    Hey Parn!

    I think the last time we spoke you mentioned acquiring the Chris-Craft and how it would be a lenghty undertaking.
    Ford FE 427's Nice!!.......what condition? - Great boat to undertake a full restoration -Can't wait to see more pics!
    In pic 6/30 is that you 27' magnun beside the Chris-Craft?....................Good luck with everything!

    Hey Artie
    Thanks for the kind words, she has twenty hours on her last fall so she already knows how to run nice. Just finishing trim and all the little details I let slide to get her in the water for coast guard festival last August.
    Hope all is well

    Restoration

    Looks great! Nothing beats the lines of a classic Chris.
    One complaint, I dont approve of the Magnum being used as scaffolding and a work bench

    Looks great Parnell.
    You always do nice work.

    But your signature line says "two junkers to go."
    What else are you hiding?


    Can't wait to see more.

    Thanks Guys
    I am not taking this off the junker list till I finish it which is by May 1 Then I have one 27 Magnum left. That is a long way from being started as I have now dedicated myself to boating after the past ten years of construction projects.
