    I think our friend Phil at Kicker is a big wooden boat enthusiast.

    Well, after a lengthy search and seeing some pretty beat up old wooden boats, I took the plung yesterday and pulled the trigger on a 1936 19’ Chris Craft Custom Runabout. It’s an absolutely stunning boat, and we’re buying it from a guy who has owned, loved and restored it over the last 26+ years. Can’t wait to get it back home and on the lake to act as the MUCH older sibling to our 2014 LSV! Here’s a pic with the family sitting in her in the workshop yesterday .... Can’t wait to get her on the water

    Is the bottom cold molded or 5200?

    Believe it or not, the current bottom on this boat is ORIGINAL ... hence the new bottom going on this winter, which will include COPIOUS AMOUNTS of 5200 (at least 50 tubes...) . I had factored in the cost of needing a new bottom when buying the boat, as I need to have a fully-functional driver’s boat from the get-go. We will use this boat regularly and it will sit on a hoist in Northern Wisonsin from Memorial Day to Labor Day, so I need a bullet-proof bottom that will be able to deal with the humidity up here (as opposed to the West System boats in Tahoe...).

    Did you re-do the bottom on your boat, and if so, have you got any suggestions for me as I embark on this project?

    Yup, most of the boats that I looked at out West with redone bottoms were the west system while most of the boats in Michigan/Minnesota/Wisconsin were 5200. Interestingly, that system seems to work well in places like Lake Tahoe or even out East while here in the Midwest with the high humidity levels the 5200 by 3M is the preferred bottom restoration choice. I tend to go with the “Do it one and do it right” approach, so I ended up only looking at original-bottom boats with the intention of doing a full bottom restoration so I know that it’s 100% solid for years to come. That will give another project for this winter to focus on/obsess over ....
