If you could be a bit more specific I might be able to point you in the right direction....I know a few people down in the Marina del Rey area that work on some older yachts - is that what you had in mind? Like an old Burger or Stevens?

Or smaller, say a Chris Craft runabout - that sort of thing?
(I got a buddy who has one upside down getting the bottom re-built...but that don't help)

I could probably hook you up with a hi tech racing sloop for a shoot easier than an old one.

Best thing to do would be to get a dinghy and tool around the marina until you find a boat you like, ask the dockmaster for a number or leave a note.

Heck, you could probably just go down and find one being cleaned and hand the crew a fifty for some time on board to do your shoot.

definitely a chris craft would be good. we are in havasu so not so much in the "marina" here! but yeah an old "woody" would be nice :)

Hi Wicked and Wet,

The link that Carrera listed is of my 1960 PowerCat 15C. Twin 61 Merc 700's.

If it's something that might interest you let me know.. Magazine pic's of her would be Awesome..

I am in Mesa. We just finished another boat last summer, It's my buddies 63 CraigCraft with Twin 105 Chryslers.. He is in Mesa also..

Don't know if they are old enough for what you are looking for. Just let me know, We'd be interested for sure  :good ..

Links to project build pics are here:

Go to   www.fiberglassics.com   I post on there now and then.  Its a good website for boat restoration ( I'm restoring a 1960s finned runabout)  You should be able to find someone in your area.

Hi Carrera,

The one we have torn apart now is another PowerCat 14C. It was identical to the Lime Green one above running the twin McCullouch 75's. We cut the deck off and sent it to the dump. It's going to get a 1 off custom deck, single seat. After the cutting it measures in at 11 feet and change. Power will probably be a single 100 Hp Merc inline 6 with a Hot rod Lower unit..

No pic's at this time.. Too many spy's out there, the Color will be Awesome, it'll really add Pop to the fleet. I've probably said too much already.  :stupid

We don't need that New Fangled Ee-lectronic ignition..
