On the old Chris-Craft,the cabin ceiling frames are rounded and battons fore and aft.there is a thin board attached to cabin sides and cut into frames IMG_1159[1].JPG I'm assuming the cabin top frames are cut from mahogany.the side windows are fixed -the front window bottom tips for'ward.

I've got a few of those window catches from junk van windows .allows window to tip out on bottom and secures window when inbeen trying to fit on chugs windows.can't quite get it yet

Or a power window from a car or a hand crank one

The pins had a little grease on them but looked gray-does fit a little loose when slid together but taped together now Seems my other outboards have a spring thingy holding together.will check into that tomorrow

Played with main engine hook-up this morning.couldn't get pins opened up but took small knife and scratched the pins as much as I could before putting back together and taped .now motor works as well as all the guages.now I know where to look.

Was reading another forum this morning about what another fix was-the main engine wire harness connection under the hood-might be corroded and pins not connecting so will start there. :roll:sure hope I don't have that problem on the 2013 Yamaha 9.9 sitting on "Chug-a-Lug"

:roll: Have 1994 90 hp merc outboard that I got last summer.Ran great last year.When I put it up last fall-checked lower unit and charged and removed batteries.Now this year,I checked everything and launched the boat that the 90 is on.Took a few cranks to start and after went for a 3 mile cruise.Not...

Just a note- on the old Chris-craft,there is a chrome engine air scoop,aft of last side window(course you won't need that with outboard)

Looking good,Carl.if you look on Woodyboater,a few days back,there was an old boat with sides like yours and a soft top instead of a hard one.just a thought.

Looking good ,Carl.I didn't save much by building a boat(had to build boatshed and shop first) but think I'll save on the next one as I already have the building spot.

Doesn't Glen-L have a fastener kit?

IMG_1150[1].JPG :D Keel guard is on!Don't think the Bo-jest was designed for one as there is a pretty sharp spot on the bow so had to cut sides in on that spot.It's not designed to cover leaky spots -just to protect the ply keel edge.I went about 5 ft back from bow on bottom and 3 ft up bow to bulw...

Looks really nice .Thanks for showing the process and supports.I've got to build one for outboard transom. Got a ladder ordered.Is yours a 2 or 3 step?mine will be a 3

That auto darkening helmut is the ticket ,Matt.I used to use one welding at "Polaris".I used the wire feed w/gas-just pull the trigger and go.

It's a cutwater of sorts. maybe help against the "sleepers" in all the gunkhole spots. Ordered another 1.2 gal kit of epoxy from Glen-L. I've always had good luck with that stuff.
