Had to replace my Grip and all of the battens on the 1956 18' Century Resorter also... Nice to see a Century bottom again, to remind me of all the work I did over 2.5 years of restoration...... Thanks for the video's gentlemen!
I’m trying to work on 1957 Century Resorter now. My progress is almost something I should be ashamed of, after seeing what Joe gets done in a week. I really am enjoying this series. It gives me a little incentive, and I can use as much of that as I can get! Thanks guys!
After you get the new bottom installed, do you put any kind of metal "drip tray" underneath the engine? Or, does that cause other issues? Have never owned a wooden hull, but have always admired them...
Absolutely NOT‼️ We never use anything but 3M Mahogany 5200 for all the right reasons. It has adhesion strength that is unequaled by any other product claiming to address the challenge presented by joining frame members. Bedding compound is about keeping moisture from penetrating beneath things like deck hardware, and thereby combating rotting deck planks.
Beautiful work on the Century bottom and the start of the varnishing on the Chris Craft!

happy new 2025... looking good!!
I have a 53 Century Resorter in similar condition. This should be very interesting and labor intensive.
👍👍👍

Michael, do you ever use a bedding compound like Dolfinite between your bottom frame joints?
