    That's a really good looking hull. I've seen the brand before but never noticed how good the lines are. Maybe different years or something but this to me looks better than the average Moppie type. The old Chris craft is hard to beat just because of the rarely . Bet she runs dam good.

    • @GT2Racer
      @GT2Racer 3 года назад

      Thanks Mike. She is one of the few models that had that flared bow and drop sheer. Which to me really makes a difference and also drew me to it. Has that sportfish look. She runs out very well. Hope to get back to her soon and continue some more videos. Thanks for your comments. 👍

    @2:14 what’s was being applied to the deck and panels ?

    • @GT2Racer
      @GT2Racer 3 года назад

      The product being applied to the deck is called kiwi grip. It's a non skid coating used to create or enhance a non skid deck or topside surface. www.pyiinc.com/KiwiGrip/ I was faced with either a re gel coating with textured mold, or applying a product to the existing deck. I chose to go this route as it was economical and fairly straight forward. My deck was in great shape structurally, it was just tired and in need of a refresh. So this was the path I chose. Also should I change my mind in the future, the kiwi can be removed and you can proceed with an alternative product. My goal with this boat was for functionality and ease of maintenance. We'll see, time will tell. Thanks

Lake Erie boat since new. Near as I can tell mine is identical with the exception that I do not have the dinette- I have the factory sleeper sofa on the starboard side of the salon. My Uniflite hull number is 34S133. I would love to contact you as I have sooooooo many questions. But until then, Bravo!!

      Hi Michael, Thanks for the kind words. 👍 34 is a great boat and great size. She has been a fun project and will be put to use this summer. 😁 I need to check my hull # They could be sister ships. Or very close on production. I would be happy to answer any questions or help wherever I can. I am attempting to put together a video walk and talk through as soon as I can dedicate some time to do a good job. If you have a specific question or area you would like details on please let me know. Also you can PM me if you would like. Thanks again!

    Wow. Amazing job. I got a 36ft double cabin a couple yrs ago as a freebie with twin Cummins 5.9s and a 9kw gen. I've been wanting to do a restore but pleasure boat type supplies are hard to come by in my small town. I'm slowly getting it. But yours is beautiful. What did she cruise at for sea trials?

    • @GT2Racer
      @GT2Racer 4 года назад

      They are a labor of love and enjoyment. The sea trials provided about a 22 knot cruise. Worth noting though, she had 240 gallons of fuel on board (full tanks), and she is not yet fully equipped with all her gear though I don't foresee much of a change in the performance once equipped. Also worth noting, the engines transmissions and props have all been upgraded. The lm340's are now 408's producing 330hp, the velvet drives are now 72c and she is spinning 4 blade props. I will be providing more details, specs and performance numbers in the future. Thanks again and best of luck with your 36DC 👍
