Re: 1956 woody boat
I've started to cut the varnish. I've got a long ways to go before its flat. Before and after some 80 grit lovin. 80 grit is a little too rough to cover with one coat. I might try some 120 next time.

Re: 1956 woody boat
Great work!
My Dad had two Chris Crafts when I was a kid. Seeing what he had to do to keep them looking great (he always did keep them up) I swore I'd never have a wooden boat. You are helping me stick to my 50 year old decision. Keep the photos coming. |

Re: 1956 woody boat
Plenty more work but not much progress/results/difference? 6 more coats of varnish then 6 hours with a DA and 80 grit. Deck is smooth and sides are starting to take shape. The wood was pretty wavy and had plenty of cracking and splitting. Not much to see that is picture worthy. Started cleaning up some hardware and installing it. The boat has a soft reveal this weekend. The original owners son is having a bbq and hasn't seen the boat since before varnish. There will be plenty more coats of varnish and a final cut and buff before its really done.

Re: 1956 woody boat
Brad, great score on the boat, and awesome work on it! It looks 150% better even if you aren't done with the varnish work. It looks sweet from here!

Re: 1956 woody boat
Dramatic update. I'm getting a divorce, wife stole the titles and had them put in her name. So I haven't done much in the last 8 months. Due to differing opinions on the current value of the boat I took it to have it assessed by a local antique boat guru. While at the car show. Where we met up an older gentleman was really checking out the old girl. We struck up a conversation it turns out that he used to watch his dad build wood boats for his family and friends in the 50s as a hobby. He asked a little about who owned the boat before me and it belonged to his uncle... this guy is the son of the guy who built the boat in 56! Small world, neat story.

Re: 1956 woody boat
sure hope she doesnt report the boat stolen , that would top it all
too bad you didnt find out before she transfered the tiotle or you couldve reported the papers stolen and get a new set she couldve used the title to wipe her ass with it , it wouldnt be worth more than toiletpaper never did like people that go after the money just to hurt the other , i would rather set fire to the boat if it whent that way

Re: 1956 woody boat
She doesn't care about what is legal for her to take. She is facing a couple of felony charges. The whole marriage was based on backmail. I could give her whatever she wanted or I could go to jail. Her blackmail ended up not being anything at all.... what a waste of my life.
Luckily for me none of my real assetts are in my name. She always tried to get me to sign over my truck and boat and wanted her name on the house "or the relationship wouldn't work". Just a gold digger who ran out of shovel. We head to court dec 12, hopefully the judge sorts her out in a big way. Says she wanted to stay married to me forever.... no crap. Free rent, early retirement " don't need a job", nice house... I'm sure half the guys here would want to stay married to me forever too, she had quite the sweet gig. |

Re: 1956 woody boat
We go to court dec 12 for divorce. I turned her in for contempt for cancelling my health insurance that I was paying for for both of us. She tried to get a restraining order on me, it was hard to not lol when the judge asked her if she knew what perjury meant, then she was in contmpt of court a time or two, implied that the judge was stupid, assaulted the judge, then handed the judge evidence that she has been cyberstalking me for 3 months at that point. The kicker, we have the same judge for the divorce. I'm doing cartwheels over here. I can't wait.
The contempt insurance thing got moved in with the divorce. That should cost her $700... she will regret not taking just her stuff and leaving in a civil manner.

Re: 1956 woody boat
brad_man_72, sorry to hear about your problems, amigo. I went through that loooong time ago back in the 80's. It got so bad I had to leave to keep my sanity. Left her the house, horse that I raised and trained, vehicles, everything. She sold it all and remarried few months after the divorce. New husband was smarter than me. He found out she was nuts and divorced her a years later.
But wait! The good news is I met a young lady a few years after the divorce that is my soulmate. We've been married almost 30 yrs and it's all good. You'll find yours also.
