The photo is as I found her... I like your terminology of a blank canvas... but as fate would have it I'm a slow painter.

Unless it's just something you truly want to do I would pass and like Bob said shop for something not needing so much work. You will get the kids out on the water faster and in the long run may even save a few dollars. If only I had understood this concept myself back in the day. :oops: Terrence Wil...

I think I'll keep it...
I think I'll keep it (1973 22' Oday shoal draft keel). Sorry it's not a Chrysler, but I feel it will be a good platform to learn and play on in the shallower lakes close to home, while continuing my work on the C26. The owner was moving and let it go at a price even I could not let pass. http://i857...

A great day on the water.
Clair and Kay Hofmann have come down to Merritt N.C. for a few weeks and were gracious enough to invite me and the wife up on the weekend. Clair and I spent the morning out on the water in what they call their 22' venture south. Back home they have a sister ship call 22' venture north. The commander...

Overlook the mess... It's past time for me to clean shop again. This is a photo of my little friends; I'm in the process of reworking the old boat stands that came with my C26. I'm sure they will be useful as I contemplate getting it off the trailer. In this day and time I'm truly pushing the elasti...

This PNM can catch you off guard real quick... I felt with just my C26 I was safe, but having to add my two 17' canoes has pushed me into the advanced stage and if I find me a smaller sailboat to play with... I'll really be in deep. Not that any of this is a bad thing... in fact it sure would be nic...

Here is my two cents worth. Most of the people looking for a sailboat want something ready to go with most of the bells/whistles of today's sailing already in place. 30+ year old Chryslers most often don't fit that bill. The one I'm restoring came with little to nothing on the way to the glue factor...

A little advice needed here....
I've been looking for a smaller sailboat relatively cheap to play with while I work on my C26. This Siren 17' sailboat popped up in fairly rough condition... but as long as it sails... oh well. What has got me nervous is a little something the owner calls a dent, that he states has given him no trou...

Alan The finish is just the outcome of a lot of sanding, two coats of primer and two coats of topside paint. If you are referring to the photo in my last post about insulation or dampeners, it is only two or three coats of old paint covered by layers of old nasty mold. This section looks a bit bette...

The only real reason I painted my was out of necessity... this C26 was nasty from top to bottom when it came to me, as you can see in the photo. A smart guy would have passed this one by... not to...

Thanks for the photos everyone, I've heard that 2 stroke motors are loud and bad on gas and oil.

At first glance it looks like the Johnson 15hp motor is placed directly on the old C26 motor mount. I too am curious about the weight... has any beefing up of the old mount been done?

Good question KeyWest... I too will be crossing this bridge at some point on my C26. I've seen some of the C26 sailors build a small extension on the original motor mount to accommodate tilt problems. The old ugly box you spoke of was most likely a P.O's attempt to do the same.
