Default Extreme Make Over CSC Edition

As the post " 27 Project " in the General section was getting a bit long. I decided to start a new thread in Repairs..

Now have all bulk heads above deck removed.
The termites were gettin' a little P/O'd
that we were removing their food source.
As the wood was cut out it went straight to the
burn barrel! You could hear the "snap crackle and pop"

You will notice the inner liner on the port side has
been popped loose. Plain old 2 in. chissel and 3 lb.
hammer breaks it away.
There are 3 seperate inner liners.




The bulk heads below deck were only glassed about 4 inches
to hold them in place. The rest of the exposed wood was painted.



The vintage Marinaire cover was removed and thousands
of mud dobber nests fell out!!!! [img]/forum/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
After a hose cleaning, oil motors and general once
over decided to power it up..
It ran like a charm! COLD, COLD, COLD...
Keep in mind this rascal has not run in 28 years!
Not sure if this was factory as it does not show
on Moesly SeaCraft site as an option. It was installed
professionally though.
It's a keeper.








More later...

Ken

I've been following your thread constantly. Note to self, push keyboard further to keep drool off! Great news about the AC. They made stuff like that to last. I had a 1967 Ford Falcon with dealer installed "hang-on" AC that would blow ice slivers out of the registers. Great work and I anxiously await the next steps.

Could have been worse.....I had a '63 Corvair. I was able to remove the engine in less than two hours......had to learn fast cause the damn thing was in continual "blown up" mode!!!! Last GM I'll ever buy, what a POS.

Hey Ken, it's just too bad about them termites. I bet it sounded like Rice Crispies

Made the run to the metal recyclers with 700 lbs.
of rusty engines minus the heads and the out drives.
My guess if they were complete the weight would be
over 1200 lbs. of motors and drives.
This gives me alot of wiggle room if I go with a bracket
and twin OB's around 250 HP
Any hoot, collected a cool $66.50 for the load.
Now that the A/C is salvageable I told the little women
we are ahead of the game...



More later,

Ken

Now I know that I'm classified as "Old Geezer"

My first car was a 1961 English Ford Anglia
with NO A/C....

The drive-in movie was alot of fun at 16 and not alot of back seat.....
Of course I was a lean and mean and 145 lbs, then!
BTW: The car was originally yellow...
That must be where the yellow thing comes from!

Sunburst Yellow


See ya, Ken

'61 Anglia was my first car too.
I sure miss it.
Wish I still had it, what a fun car.
Lots of good times!

Haven't heard you mention anything about a generator, so, I'm assuming the AC ran off of the main engines. Is a generator in the plans?
