Geeze! Thought I was buying a junk CVX16 for the motor. Now I'm doomed to restoring a C-500. How do I get myself into this kinda crap anyway? Sigh ...

You'n Jeff are welcome anytime Gregg, I'll supply refreshments, but boy I dunno. Better have a magic wand in yer polishing bag of tricks? She's purty far gone. And don't fergit about the 'repair' on the bow:

It is nice that the last guy put in the quick remove floor, perhaps some 303 would revive that gel...................I couldn't resist. Looks like a good score and worth a redo.

Thanks RP. Ya I thought that was mighty white of the PO too. Removal tip: Simply grind through the glass where you can see it ain't stuck to nuthin ...?

Yeah ... I know. I know! Why did this pos have to be such a rarity?!

Oh well the good news is there ain't anywhere near as much work involved restringing one of these vs, say, a V153? Transom's simpler too. But to do it right I'm gonna have to pop the top.

Don't hold yer breath y'all this resto might take awhile. Got some other business to attend to first. But I promise to make slow'n steady progress ...

I'm in the same boat ( HA HA ) as you Doug.
Mine will need some work ...

V153 · « **Reply #31 on:** February 14, 2012, 09:57:42 PM »

Ya but yours is a lot better looking? Yo Gregg. If'n you will. Paint scheme for '81 85hp Crossflow ...?

Honestly...that faded silver/red color isn't horrible...too bad the PO didn't just leave it alone.

That would have made a great project for my son and I, I'm a bit bummed you're not closer.

Tell me about it ... According to the po the 2po ran into a jetski. Hmm, doesn't that scenario usually go the other way around?

Ah well. Doran when you'n your son get here, you get here. Boat ain't goin nowhere. Gotta trailer that'll hold 2 or 3 of em for sale cheap too ...?

Y'know the more I study the bow the more I think it has a Corinthian look to it ...?

Oops! Wrong pic ...

V153 · « **Reply #37 on:** February 15, 2012, 05:50:42 PM »

Remember to leave enough of the old material so's ya kin set the new one on top of it ...

V153 · « **Reply #38 on:** February 15, 2012, 05:54:17 PM »

Flake might come back a lil, but what am I gonna do about the other side ...?
