Chris Craft 1937 re-commissioning

[barneyagusta]

We have recently completed the purchase and import of a 1937 Chris Craft Runabout. She was restored in 2006 and has not been in the water since.
Next steps are to get her re-commissioned ready for use so that we can come along to the various club meets.

Can anyone point us in the right direction for someone or a company who can assist us, the bottom needs soaking (not mine) but as we have a hosepipe ban that seems impossible.
Engine was run recently and inspected, so seems fine but again would be worth a quick check.

Any help would be most appreciated
Finally we live near Brighton

Well done on getting the boat...here's a thought, I don't think the Portsmouth Water Co have a ban so you could ring around some of the yards in the area, Chichester and West of there. The boat will dry a bit between launches so suggest make sure you have really good bilge pump(s)

good news, well done. hope that you avoided the VAT.

Youy will recall that we spoke recently.

you can always use buckets! a little and often before launching.
