Projects

We acquired a 24 foot 1956 Chris Craft runabout, this classic wooden boat is built primarily of mahogany. We have 

undertaken the project of restoring the boat to what it was like when it was near brand new. Take a look at the 

pictures below for our progress

The hull work is done, it is out of the shelter with just a few projects left!

We had to fill all the plank seams with seam compound

Collin applying primer to the hull

The transom planks took some fine fitting work

A little finish sanding should shape it up just fine

All the Transom boards in place Wow look at the wood grain!!

In February We  Built a Shelter for our 24 foot 1956 Chris Craft

Thanks go out to all of those that came and helped with this huge undertaking

Special Thanks to the members of the The Edmonds Daybreakers Rotary Club, and The Edmonds Daybreakers Foundation.  

Special Thanks also goes to Edmonds Lumber, They provided all the necessary fasteners, nails bolts etc.

Thanks for holding the project together!

Without their added assistance we would not have accomplished this feat in a single day
