Re: Bimini / Shade for Chrysler 22
Right. I'll probably reach it by the end of the week. So I guess that means I am promising to get it out and take and post pics by the weekend.

Re: Bimini / Shade for Chrysler 22
While cleaning my basement, I realized I have a Chrysler bimini. I no longer have the boat and didn't use the bimini in the 15years I sailed her. The previous owner did use it as I sailed on it a couple of times with it up, so I know it works. Not sure how it was attached or deployed, but I recall a...

Re: My C22 will soon be on auction . . ..
No boats, I am out of the climbing and DIY parts of hobbies. A broken arm and some other health issues did me in. The newly discovered zebra mussels in our lake sort of crowned it. However, I am have evolved my long time interest in a more stable (landlubber-type) hobby--astronomy. Spending more tim...

A red 1979 C22 will soon go live on the IAA auction site. https://www.iaai.com/Vehicle?itemID=27719642&RowNumber=2&loadRecent=True I don't have anything to do with the auction so not sure when it goes live. I had to give up the sailing hobby so I donated my boat to NPR. It took a while to ge...

Maybe. You would think it would have to be a lot colder. It was about 55 degrees (maybe less with wind chill) and it may have been a hot summer day when I took them off. My sister suggested leaving it in position and maybe temperature changes would make it work. I wanted to clean off the smeared cau...

My toe rail seems to no longer fit the hull deck seam . . .
At the risk of discouraging the newbies, with their new project boats, I turn to the Chrysler brain trust for some help. [It is still the best old boat out there.] I tried to put the toe rail on with two other helpers, it doesn't seem to quite fit. Initially, I had some trouble lining up the screws ...

Yeh! Don't have to move, not much anyway.
Turns out that though my current spot, my "dry dock" on the trailer in the boatyard, was picked up by someone else in the lottery. To my amazement, the process left one open about 60 feet away. No problem! And it is that much closer to the electrical outlet. My wet spot, alas has changed. ...

Moving boat with toe rails off?? Advisable?
I may have to move my boat from its current location in a couple of weeks. I have the toerails (and the related hardware at the bow and stern off of the boat.

Back to the pop-top, I was trying to visualize how propping it up with wood blocks would do--sort of how I raised the hull when filling the blisters. But that would block access to the deck under them. Then, I visualized a two-by-four frame rising from the cabin floor to hold it 4-6 inches above the...

What to do with pop-top in preparation for deck painting?
I already have half the hardware removed for rebedding and I have decided to go the whole route and remove most of the rest of the hardware in preparation for painting the deck. (Epoxy on the dings and cracks, then I am going to roll and tip the Systems Three primer and LPU--but not until spring.) A...

LED "bulbs"
Alan: It doesn't look like either of those lights you chose are actually LED, so I'm guessing you ordered LED elements to insert. Which place did you find that were satisfatory quality and price? Or correct me if I'm wrong. I think I'm going to do this same thing: the latest "OEM upgrade".

So question number one--do the procedures and tips for fixing the hull/deck anomalies with epoxy and filler also apply to anomalies in the vinyl liner? My guess is yes.

This is my number one WANT. And while I have the mast down, this will be the most expensive thing I've ever gotten or ever will get for the boat, I thinks.
It is the one thing that would allow me to single handle more often.

Are these fasteners in the hull-deck joint screws or bolts? I have yet to clean off the caulk on the toerail and on the hull-deck joint, before I rebed the toe and rub rails with 4200 ). I see the hull-joint is the shoe box type. The "lid" lip is only a about one vertical inch of fiberglas...
