    Default First trip out

    Here are some pictures of me taking the boat out fir its first time! I dont think it has seen water in around 30 years. Mark told me that my boats maiden voyage was on this very same lake in 1971! My motor was not working very well so I could barely go above a fast idle but I still made 25 mph or so..

    Default Summer is on its way!

    I have been so busy with life that my Craig Craft has been put away since this picture was taken. I am about to start on it again to get it ready for this summer.
    look for lots of pictures to come!

    Default Craig Craft

    Nice restoration. I think the hydros of that era were really sharp designs. I raced against Craig Crafts, Hudlands, Bezoats, and others I can't recall. I note that your fin is pretty far to starboard on the left sponson. After you get it going with a good running engine consider moving the fin outboard several inches beyond the rear deck outer edge so spray will clear it.

    Cool Running

    I have a kg4h for it and soon hopefully i will also have a kg7h. I have a lot of setting up to do and will take note of fin placement.
    I have since removed the extension on the transom to expose the "vented transom" and now its the right height for a quickie lower. I have to varnish a little more and put back on the craig-craft decals like in the old picture as well as paint the white panels on the bow.

    What about a nice 20h or a first version 25ss?

    Craigcraft Dave. I see this is a old post, BUT did you ever have the Craig Craft decals made & do you have any extra's. I just bought a Craig Craft runabout, do not have the boat in my possession yet, (to cold in N.C Wisconsin)!!!!!, but have pictures & I do not think it has a decals which I would like to put on. Incidentally the runabout is either a M or small A class boat?, or any one else who has or knows of where I can find the Craig Craft decals. The boat is of the 'Shovel Nose" dersign.
