I had 1967 Chris Craft Cavalier...
It was a major project and the work never ended... think of it as a special needs child.
If you don't glass the wood you need to keep it in the water constantly or it will dry out... when it swells up it wont leak very bad... But still leaks!

MAJOR Project !!!
Unless you buy one already dialed in... Which would be large $'s

When it ran and had 8 people in it it was one of the best wakes i have EVER ridden behind... absolutely perfect!

I still have wet dreams about the wake.
and nightmares about all the work!

not my boat... but that's the model i had.

i have one in my garage, its a 1949 chris sportsman..working on it this winter....they are expensive to find parts for....to give u an idea, almost 4 grand for the windshield and brackets....so if you buy one make sure it has all the original chrome peices.

they say the best days are the day you bought it and sold it right?

boats are holes in the water in which you try and fill with money

still a worthy project imo

i think it would be awesome to skate behind too
Cool

i hope he decides he needs a new project Laughing

and btw Schmaltz amazing work with the cougar, i love this board
i have wet wake dreams about it Embarassed
