In 1960 i was 13yo, and my Dad bought me a boat for our cottage, it was 1956 Peterborough, a guy also had one that was much nicer than mine, the deck had inlay between the planks, and i often wondered how that was made, it was beautiful like a cherry color, I still wonder how it was done? I had an 18hp on mine and i think his was a 25hp they were both the same length, but his was much better looking with the deck planks
@@longsspeed I know how the “too many projects thing” can postpone things a bit. Mine just happen to be all boats. I will be waiting to see what you do with the boat! Dan
@@longsspeed The one I'm looking at needs more wood but all the chrome and trim is there, the interior is really nice and the top is perfect. I think I'm going to pick it up. Thanks and good luck on your project.
Great boat 🚤 Congrats 🥳
Mom approved 😆😂🙋♀️😊
Too cool to pass up man just killer!!!
Ya thanks man!!
Great ol' boat.......had a 1958 Chris Craft all wood. Was a great boat but man what a lot of work to maintain.

Looks like an awesome boat Jer! Can't wait to see it (especially once restored!)
Thanks!

It used to be called Oakum. Was a packing that was used to seal the planks. Now folks just use a special caulk like 3M 5200.
@@longsspeed thanks for the info
Had 427 ford in 19 ft resorter dual quards
Have you done anything with the Coronado lately?

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay? I'm looking at a 1959 that's in similar shape. Thanks
I think it was $5000.

I know where there is a complete original Cadillac motor for your boat in Connecticut.
A bit too far to travel. But that’s good to know they are out there.
