1961 36' Chris-Craft Restoration Project

topic posted Mon, September 12, 2005 - 6:58 PM by  Ponygirl
I have stumbled upon a 1961 36' Chris-Craft that I believe is a Sea Skiff. I have purchased it and would like to restore it, but I have no idea where to begin. Can anyone suggest where to start, sources to exploit, etc.? I would like to restore it to its 1961 look, but I have been unable to find pictures or sources for vintage seats, ect. from that time. Any help would be appreciated greatly.

    Hi Ponygirl,

    For photos try these sites:

    www.chris-craft.org/
    www.cchriscraft.com/

    If you need specific work done, I live & work on the San Joaquin Delta and can give you the names of some people who work on boats (wood, interiors, exteriors, etc.) You might want to grab yourself a copy of the Bay & Delta Yachtsman magazine also. It's usually found free at marine shops. Did you get a survey done before buying?
