- 1967 18' Chris Craft Sea Skiff -- Herman Vess, 12:39:39 01/04/09 Sun (NoHost/4.22.141.200)
I have purchased a 1967 18' Fiberglass Chris Craft Sea Skiff. I have tried to find others or pictures of the boat in 1967. I am restoring it and would like to know the original colors.My title indicates it is the Number 4 boat off the line in 1967 from the oriiganl Thompson Boat assembly line in Cort Land New York. I have only seen pictures of one other remaining 1967 to my knowledge. Anybody got any informaton on this boat. It is powered by a V6 Buick and OMC stern drive electric shift. It is green and White with a brown bottom. I do not think the original had a brown bottom but I am not sure.
Respectfully

I have a chance at buying a 1969 25' Sea Skiff "Ranger" with Ser# SUA25-20210. Is there anyway to look up the serial number for info on the boat? Also, I have owned carvel planked boats before (way before) but never a lapstrake, is there that much difference i.e. handling, maintenance, effects of dry weather? Also, what is such a boat worth? Owner says it is in "perfect" condition. I remember my wooden boats - they were never in "perfect" condition and always two feet too short and two feet too narrow. (ha).

- If you've never had a wooden boat before, I'd recommend finding someone who can survey the boat for you before buying. There's so much to look for with a woody, from dry rot, to the shape of the ribs, the transom, the bottom, the stringers, bulkhead, etc...On the surface it may look fine, but you never know where soft spots could be looking. If it were me, I'd pull up the floor boards, with my trusting awl or penknife start poking the wood. Any soft spots (like a sponge) indicate rot, which grows rapidly.

Hi, I have a new 58 Sea Skiff with plywood lapstrake hull. I has ablative anti-fouling paint but I need to paint it green again. It is now in fresh water and on a boat lift so I don't need ablative anti-fouling paint.
Can I use a stripper or will this hurt the glue and so will I have to sand it?
Does anyone recommend an undercoat of poly resin like West Systems or primer. I am not planning fiberglass. Any help or suggested sources are appreciated. Bright work is in pretty good shape. Thanks

I have recently acquired a 1957 Sea Skiff 25ft with cradle and tandem axle trailer. I'm not sure if I want to sell it or keep the boat to restore. The boat has been out of the water for several years. I don't know the history of the boat, but I do believe there has been some work done in the past. The transom looks to of been replaced at some time along with some of the planks, which are butt blocked together. The engine is a 6cyl. Chris Craft marine engine Model "M" Engine No. 300888. Hull No. SK26562. I got the motor to turn over but not fire. The forward deck of the boat is soft and needs replaced along with a lot of paint and varnish work.
Can anybody give me any ideas what it might be worth as it sits and when it is restored to sea worthy condition.
Thanks, Eric

Mount Dora was a success! There were several Skiff's in attendance, and the CCSSC (Chris Craft Sea Skiff Club) had a meeting on Saturday.
I believe we are going to try and got a web-based club, as there has been trouble in *getting* someone to put out a newsletter. We've had two people say they were going to do it, and then end up not being able too.
With the club as *spread* out as it is (US and Canada) the web-based idea seems to be merited.
For those interested in attending Hartwell, there will be a Sea Skiff Cruise on Wednesday the 19th, two days before the actual start of the show. We'd love to see you there!

I am looking for a member's expertise in identifying a FIBERGLASS c-c with a SIMULATED LAPSTRAKE deep-v hull. Although I never purchased the boat, I found one for sale about 5 years ago. It was around 21 to 23 feet, had a small cuddy cabin and had a white hull with red trim. I'm pretty sure it had a I/O drive. I believe it was a late sixties model or early seventies. I have never seen another one of these in the water or for sale.
Was this glass chris-craft (with simulated laps) a cc or a sea skiff?
If it's a Chris-Craft, what model would it be? Possibly a Cosair?
I would love to know more about this paticular glass cc or sea skiff with simulated laps. Any information would be greatly appreciated as I would like to research the boat and possibly find one to buy.
Thank you,

The Chris Craft Sea Skiff Club lost a very good friend on May 21, 2005 when one of our founding members, Ken Jorgensen, passed away after many week hospital stay.
I hope everyone will join with me in keeping Ken's family, including his *first mate* Nan in their thoughts and prayers. Words cannot convey the sorrow and sense of loss that many of us are feeling at this moment, and if you scroll down the message board you will see many posts from Ken J.
His knowledge is unsurpassed, and the friendship that he gave will truly be missed. Anyone interested in making contributions in Ken's name to his Church please email me.
Just please keep Nan and their children in your prayers, as she will need the strength as she faces the days and months ahead.

- Chris-Craft 327F low engine speed (rpm) -- Nick Bird, 18:17:36 02/20/05 Sun (Quebec-HSE-ppp3619516.sympatico.ca/65.93.220.25)
I have a 1968 CC Futura (Plywood cruiser in the Cavalier style). Bought it when the twin 327F engine hours were low but have never been able to get high rpm (3500+)out of it. Over the years I have re-built the distributors, carburetors, added optical ignition, hydraulic trim tabs but each time only added 200 rpm. Compression is good. full 32 degree advance acheived at 3200 rpm. Vacuum falls off quickly with load. top rpm achieve is 3600 with secondary choke plates forced open (not enough vacuum to open these counter-weighted plates naturally. Propellers are 15X10 which I understand are undersized (verified by top speed being much lower than expected at 3600 rpm too). Any Ideas? Have heard it could be tired valve springs but many mechanics disagree with that theory.
Any opinions would be appreciated

Need to find a trailer for this 10'2" beam Sea Skiff. Transporting to inland Mexico, Lake Chapala near Guadlajara. Or I will have to sell the boat.
Would be willing to purchase, or lease, your trailer, and return. Or if you can transport anytime between mid-2005 and mid-2006 on your appropriate trailer, that would work.
I do not need a trailer except for moving it this one time.
I am aware of all the different border requirements and can expedite those with my Mexican moving company.
This is very, very flexible. Thanks. Also, any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Love reading all the posts.

- 1960 Sea Skiff -- John Collins, 10:00:38 10/15/04 Fri (NoHost/167.7.219.5)
Hi just purchased a 1960 20' Sea Skiff and am looking for some help- The hull is in great condition but the the cosmetics have been "improved" incorrectly. Wondering if anyone else has this model that would be willing to send me some pictures of their boat- i need shots of the front seats as my boat had Cabela's pedistal seats, also how the decks were done, my boats has vinyl wrapped over everything and I want to correct this. Hull color is suppoed to be white correct? How about upholstry, and bilge colors? Love the boat and while I got it to use instead of my runabouts, am finding it has much better seakeeping ablities and more user friendly. It has the 283 and I am also need to know how it should be propped, currently it has a 11X13 which seems steep to me as my 19' runabout is spinning a 15X13 with a 327 powering it...
Thank you all and look forward to making friends here..

- info about a 30'?? -- Adam, 18:54:34 10/05/04 Tue (NoHost/206.172.40.34)
hi all, hoping I can find some info here.
I have a late 60's (I think) 30' sea skiff, but I can't seem to find any hull numbers on it, so I can't identify the exact year.
I was told that the info should be on a plate on one of the engine hatches, but there's no plate there, the only thing that I can find is on the engine exhaust manifolds, identifying them as 283's.
Can anybody tell me where I would find the hull numbers and/or production date for this beast??
THANKS
Adam

Wow! Sorry for being a Delinquent poster..... -- Jennifer, 12:13:46 09/27/04 Mon (69-166-13-21.atlaga.adelphia.net/69.166.13.21)
But time got away from me, and I can't believe its almost October!
I hope everyone has had a wonder Summer patrolling the lakes in their Sea Skiffs.....The ACBS Annual Meeting was held just about 2 weeks ago here at Lake Lanier Islands in Georgia.
We of course were dealing with the possibility of Hurricane Ivan, and this fact kept the attendance of boats down. There was a point where there were only 12 boats in the water, and the funny thing is 1/3 of those boats were Sea Skiffs!
The preliminary events on Tuesday and Wednesday featured trips on the lake to lunch destinations on each day. Wednesday the weather wasn't looking to bright, and the lake was very rough. Only 5 boats had the gumption to head out for the Wednesday cruise....
4 of the 5 were Sea Skiffs!!! Chris Smith's Cora B, Susan Wilson & Shirley Brown's Just Awesum, Bob Churchill's Classy 62, and my own Crazy 8.
Nothing can stop Sea Skiff's, they are such a great riding boat in rough water!!
I hope the Fall and Winter keeps everyone in good spirits, and hope to see many of you Skiff Owners at Mount Dora in March!

I have '67 35' Sea Skiff with two cc 327F engines. Owner's manual shows plug wiring for right hand rotaion (starboard) engine. The port engine rotates to the left. Since both distributors rotate in the same direction, do I just renumber the left hand (port) distributor in the opposite direction to wire the plugs? I believe both engines keep the same cylinder numbering.

Sea Skiff Caulking Questions/Information -- Alan, 07:42:38 07/13/04 Tue (dhcp024-209-246-179.cinci.rr.com/24.209.246.179)
I have a 1964 Chris Sea Skiff 35' Corinthian (plywood/Lapstrake). I am in the process of doing a minor restoration. (outside hull/bottom and inside bilge area repainting). When I scrapped/cleaned the inside bilge in preparation for the bilge repaint, I noticed that someone had run a caulking "bead" on the bilge inside between the garboard planks and the keelson for the entire length of the boat. This did not look like an original "factory" caulking job as some of it was pretty sloppy. I don't know what type of caulk this was, but I did find cartridges of 3M 101 Polysulfide and also 3M 5200 Polyurethane on the boat.
Some of this caulk was pretty deterioated, so I pulled off all I could get too from the inside between the garboard & keelson. On these boats, I believe the garboard plank is fastened to the keelson with screws from the bottom of the boat through the garboard screwed into the bottom of the keelson timber. I think Chris Craft originally used somekind of caulking similar to 3M 5200 between the garboard plank and the keelson rabbet. However, after 40 years, maybe some of Chris Craft's original caulk may be breaking down and that is why someone ran a newer bead of caulk in the bildge area between the garboard & keelson seam? What to do now? I was thinking of trying to reef out as much of the deterioating caulk along the garboard to keelson seam and clean that seam as good as I could and then recaulk that seam as best that I could. I was thinking of using 3M 5200 as 5200 may be similar to what Chris Craft originally used or 4200 (if I ever wanted to remove a garboard plank - I hope that I never have to!). Oh yes, I also do plan to recaulk the outside garboard to keelson seam with some type of caulking (3M 5200? 4200? 101? Interlux Brown Seam Compound?)
Can someone give me recommendations on what to do as far as possibly replacing this caulking bead that someone had run between the garboad & keelson on the inside of the boat? (1) should I bother to recaulk this garboard to keelson seam at all on the inside? (2) If so, what type of caulk to use? A polysulfide (3M 101)? A polyurethane (3M 5200 or 4200)? Also, what recommendations as far as recaulking that garboard to keelson seam on the bottom/outside of the boat?
I appreciate your knowledge as I am trying to get this caulking question solved before I do something wrong and then have to strip paint, reef out the wrong caulking solution and do the job all over again. Oh, by the way, the structure/framing of this boat is in good condition without any rot.
Thanks

The original Jabsco pump #12050-0001 seized while running. Since this pump is no longer available I purchased a Magnaflow, but am having a problem mounting it because of the difference in the inlet and outlet configurations from the Jabsco. Looking for advice on mounting the Magnaflow or having the Jabsco rebuilt. I have noticed that the key way on the drive mechanism turns freely. Is it possible that something inside could have sheared when the pump seized? Or is there some type of clutch in the mechanism that allows the key way to turn when the engine is not running?
Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Barry

"Cricket" has cruised the fresh international waters of Lake Memphremagog between Vermont and Canada since 1959. This 22' lap strake hull skiff (Hull No. SK222355) with 8' beam is equipped with one original Chris-Craft 283 cu. in. V-8 engine (Engine # 802807) with 610.5 hours. The excellent condition of this Sea Skiff reflects the quality of care the boat has had over its 45 years. Most recently, the boat was refinished in 1985 and again in 1994. This U.S. Coast Guard approved Chris-Craft is presently in storage on a trailer in Vermont. Included accessories are: tailored full canvas cover, white bimini top w/ side curtains, fortress style anchor, bilge pump, spot light, depth finder, life jackets, boat hook, boarding ladder, U.S. and Chris-Craft flags, 2 gull sweeps, fishing rod holders, beverage holders, folding chairs, portable toilet, CB radio, and a Le Tube with tow rope. Also included is a new Interstate marine battery. This beautiful old boat with plenty of power and speed will make a statement on the water no matter where she goes. We hate the thought of selling her, but we must. Photos available upon request.

In case you haven't been to the seaskiff.org site recently, I wanted to remind you to read your "Brass Bell" Chris Craft magazine, page 17.... Our Vice President, Ken Jorgensen wrote a great, informative article on "Happiness Is ..." (1956 22' sea skiff)cruising down and back on the Tennessee River.

Hello all,
Looking for some help on this boat. I have just purchased this in project form,and while I have photos of the boat from back in her hey-day, I need measurements of the seam locations for the Nautalex materials on the cabin roof and decks. Everything has been stripped, hardware, rails, rub-rail,and all for the new decking that was installed and covered with West-System products,and now the puzzle must go back together. If anyone has one of these,or knows of a very original boat, I would love some photos and dimensions.
I am trying to go back as correct and original as possible,so any help would be greatly appreciated. I have sent for info from the Mariners but I know it will not be that detailed. Hope to have her floating next year,so please help if anyone can. Thanks,Mark

Anyone out there have a clue where I can get replacement silicon bronze nuts that go on the inside of a CC Sea Skiff.
These are the nuts that are square in shape and lock into the inner lap with machine screws comming in from the outside, thread looks like a 10-32 or maybe a 1/4 - 24.

Skiff Project -- Captn Pea, 10:35:41 10/24/03 Fri (NoHost/66.84.139.246)
24' CC Sea Skiff Project Description.
1964, purchased new in 1965, I have most of the original paperwork.
How do I post pictures? will add some if anyone is interested.
1) Rot forward in bilge area, appears to be from deck leaks during storage. I have removed the garboards back to just past the bulkhead, from there back they are solid. It'll be a trick but I will be putting in a 12/1 (6") scarf joint replacing from the bow to the cut. Also will be laminating in place replacement ribs from the peak to the engine, from there back things seem ok, some minor repair nothing much.
Next: Remove toe rails and forward decking. Laminate ribs in place (mahogany and West), then remove and replace the 1st and second plank on the port side, and the 1-3 plank on the starboard side. Stem has some bad areas but, mainly in the plywood that was laminated around the mahogany center, will scarf in new plywood in bad area.
2) New frame to the deck for windshield and side windows (aluminum framed). I have cut the mahogany to rough shape, later project, but, I do need to know about the sealing the glass in it's aluminum frame. Anyone have any suggestions on where to get the seals, or other techniques that can be used. All of the seals had shrank and leaked, this is how the rot problems got as bad as they are as the boat was stored with only a snapped on canvas from the windshield aft so every rain let water in to sit in the bilge.
3) New deck, I want to go with a bright deck. Maybe a teak and holly plywood, any suggestions?
4) New pilots seat, last owner installed a mini-fridge and cut the seat apart to put it in. I've roughed and bisket joined the new seat, this comes after structure and deck replacement.
5) Crack in the pilot/interment panel box. Pull out disassemble and repair by shooting with West and clamping back together, refinish. May have to disassemble and replace depending on how the repair goes.
6) Transom, just strip re-finish.
7) Engine replace hoses, belts, wires, etc... just maintained.
8) New flooring vinyl (maybe). Long term this may turn to bright work also, another season.
9) I didn't like the white ply stuff that covered the ribs, I'm going to replace with bright mahogany strips running the length.
10) Add lighting, update electrical.
11) Install fixed head and small holding tank under the passenger seat, run plumbing etc..
Anything else I can come up with. Want to launch by June 2004.
Should I be committed…
There coming to take me away..
he he, ho ho, ha ha…
To the funny farm..
Where life is beautiful all the time..

- 1950's? Chis-Craft, junk or treasure -- Dave, 17:15:56 09/21/03 Sun (89.sanjose-06rh15rt-ca.dial-access.att.net/12.81.18.89)
Hello all, I tried one post earlier but it didn't seem to take so I'll try again.
I'm hoping to find info or interested party for what I believe is an early to mid 1950's Chris-Craft Runabout. I'm guessing it's 16'- haven't pulled a tape on it yet - and it looks to be complete with all hardware, flat head v-8, prop,I believe original trailer,ect. It appears to be a complete vessel, just the wood is all rotten.
Is the wood worth anything for templates for someone to build a new shell and reuse everything else or not? I'm not real sure what I've got here, but would like to sell it in the hopes that someone can bring it to life again.
I'm hoping to find some #'s on it and take photos in the near future to help find out exactly what it is.
Any info or help would be appriciated.
Thanks Dave

- identifying a sea skiff -- adam, 16:19:08 06/03/03 Tue (NoHost/206.172.40.34)
hi there!
Working on rebuilding an old 32' sea skiff. Keeping an eye more towards functionality than restoration, but would still like to find out some specifics about this boat. The identification plate that SHOULD have been on the inside of the engine hatch appears to have been removed at some point in the boat's history, and I can't find any other identification numbers elsewhere on the boat. The closest boats that I have seen in appearance seem to be the 1966 models, but my boat has an aluminum windshield frame, and a flybridge. She is powered by twin 350's, and built out of plywood. Anybody out there have any ideas on the age of the boat and any additional information?
thnx
adam

- 1957 26' Sea Skiff Enclosed Flybridge -- Steve Haines, 13:30:16 05/22/03 Thu (NoHost/208.139.64.62)
Hello to all in the club. My wife and I own a 1957 26' Sea Skiff, Enclosed Flybridge Cruiser 4 Sleeper model. This is a very nice little pocket cruiser. We bought the boat off "Bone Yard Row" at a local marina in CT in began a 10 month restoration process. That was 11 years ago. Since then we have improved ont he original restoration with a new cockpit deck, new power and a very thorough stripping and fairing of the hull. We have found this to be a very capable boat. We cruise the CT River, Long Island Sound and off to Newport, the Cape and Block Island. We would be interested in talking to others with similar boats about their skiffs and experiences. In the 11 years we have owned her, we have only seen or heard of 2 other similar (4 sleepers) boats. Both have faded from the scene.

I'm considering selling my 21 ft plastic(fiberglass) boat and purchasing a restored 1955 26ft Sea Skiff for use in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of AL. for fishing (about 20 miles out in 3 to 4 ft seas) and just running around in the local bays. Will the boat hold up in the Gulf and in salt water???????? I believe it has a 130 hp "M" engine.
Thanks for any suggestions. Chris.

- I know the Skiffs are rugged and will handle the seas, not sure about the salt water. I've had my boat in NY Harbor for the Opsail Regatta in 2000, & have had her in rough water where we were taking on water over the windshield, & my Skiff handled beautifully....Sea Skiff's are built for rough water IMHO, but while part of the Hudson was salt water, I haven't kept her in Salt Water. Hopefully someone else will have the answer to that one! (NT) -- Jennifer, 22:34:27 03/02/03 Sun
