You mentioned that the photo in your early post was โTimโsโ build. Is that Tim Brown? He and I were in constant communication about Chris Crafts until my legs quit on me, and while I was in the hospital, my phone got cleaned out of email addresses.

Very nice woodwork BW ๐ SFSG๐
So glad she has her bottom sheeted ๐ฎ๐ 1.5" (~38/40mm) prop ... What motors are you considering? Brushed/Brushless, types? Remind me please how big is she: LoA, Beam? ๐ PS I was wondering what the heck is 'famowood'. So I Googled it. Turns out it's all sorts (not liquorice! Warning for Bassetts fans๐) of useful stuff. ▲

jbkiwi.... I get it. I guess that's why they lost the bulbous bow. Pain to repair at the yard as well I assume. And then of course came the anchor windless with the bow roller. That would be banging in to the bow all the time pulling her up.

Coming along well, - one of those shapes which are a challenge. Must have been a pain for the original boat builders. Probably a bit of laminating required. Always thought it spoiled the look of the boats.

Looks like great progress! I will keep
this approach in mind while I am working on my 35โ Commander with a very similar bow contour, if The Dumas instructions have any shortfalls. Thanks for posting! ▲
