I'd love to see some of those Skiff's. ;) With regard to the gel, basically what you said is what I've heard are some of the challenges. Wet-sanding and then spraying clear is a good option that many choose. Or, if the gel is totally shot, then there's obviously paint with an optional coat of...

Wowzers! That's paint? They did an amazing job. It's looks just like original gel. :thumb: -Chris

Ray that's awesome! I appreciate you taking the time to share those pics with us. What was your approach with the gel and how did it turn out? I know many say it's really hard to work with unless it's in the initial lay up. -Chris

Here's page 12 & 13. :thumb:

Your place looks nice. :) I don't have any of mine that are flattery enough to show! :D The property is nice though. :thumb: Here's a few of me taking out the dock a few years ago. :)

Here's a few more. :)

Ray, What do you want to know about the canopy frame? -Chris

Our cottage is just a little old cabin - so it's not winterized. The hope is to one day build something that can be used all year round. :) My story is very similar to yours in that my Grandparents were the first on our lake and now I have property near where there original cottage is...

Brunswick is the parent company of Mercury Marine. They also own a bunch of other boat companies. :) -Chris

My Aunt has a Crusader. I'm just not sure what model it is though. It's about 16' long and is rated for 100 H.P. I'll have to take some pics of it this summer for you. :) -Chris

We have to wait until the road into the cottage clears up. :yell: There is a hill going in and it doesn't get that much sun during the winter months. So it tends to stay snow covered a bit longer as it's in the shade. Once the hill clears up a bit, then we can probably get in with the...

Here's some pics of a HackerCraft that was at the show. Beautiful boat! :)

Looks like fun! :thumb: Love the old tower of power. Best sounding motor ever. :devil: -Chris

LOL! Sure I'll try, not sure if I can throw much of one or not, but I'll see what I can do. :) Gonna be another month or so before the ice is out at the cottage though. :) -Chris

I actually thought along the lines of what John mentioned. What if there was a ball under a removable cowling. Pull the cowling off and you're ready to tow. Once done, put the cowling over the top to protect the ball and make it look cool. Something like that would be pretty neat. :) -Chris

An interesting development that our Canadian readers might find interesting. The NMMA has sold the Toronto International Boat Show to Canadian Boat Shows Inc. Here's a link to the press release. :) http://www.nmma.org/news/news.asp?id=17820&sid=3&emc=lm&m=34977&l=24&v=39382 -Chris

Ray, Both the forum and photogallery categories are set up and ready to go. You can upload some of your pics into the AMF photogallery category if you like and then post them on the board using the code the gallery gives you. Enjoy! :) -Chris

Well, basically as I recall AMF Inc. was the manufacturer and I think they were later purchased by Genmar holdings and folded into Genmar. Perhaps someone will know the whole history and share it. So what I'll do is I'll create a AMF category for you. I think my uncles model was the...

Hi Ray, I gather yours is a AMF Crestliner? :) -Chris

Welcome aboard Ray - nice to have you with us. :) My uncle had a Crestliner Crusader, I don't remember which model though...and my aunt still has a Crestliner as well. :) -Chris
