22 Feet 1986 century

Finally… I am humbly bringing to market what I firmly believe to be the finest fiberglass Coronado on the planet! Improved from OEM in every way I can think of. 1986… last year for the “purist” boats from Manistee. This is a brand-new boat, sort of. I started with an all-original lake boat (original owner) that spent its life in a boat house. 700 original hours. I threw everything away except for the hull, deck, windshield frame, fuel tank and miscellaneous trim. All structure out, foam out, etc. pics will tell the story. It will take several posts as I think I am limited to 80 pics per post. I will try to cluster them intelligently. Countless customizations… stringers and bulkheads nothing like original… and mine are glassed! No nailed 2 x 10s!!! Sloped stringers for engine mounts… no spacers! All kinds of seat storage due to seat design without floor. Incredible ventilation to keep the bilge clean and dry with plenty of air to engine. No foam!!! 2 blowers. Note chrome scoop on bow and stern scoops. Don’t belong on 1986 boats! See ventilation hose pics under bow. 2 battery boat (house and starting) with electrical design worthy of a much bigger, more complicated boat. Wiring is incredible… Built in battery charger with ACR. 6 speakers with subwoofer (7 total) with big amp and Bluetooth head unit. Serious spotlight and horn (not the junky original kind). The gauges speak for themselves. Notice the arch to the shape of the dashboard to match the windshield? All custom. See pics. Excellent high speed depth finder and GPS speedo. Push button start. Brand new (not rebuilt) Marine Power 420 HP aluminum 6.2 liter L87 with two year transferable warranty. Factory reman Velvet Drive. Tuning and prop selection hours only. Amazing engine. Sips gas. Entire deck covered in vinyl, not the silly gelcoat imprint. All through hulls (except for raw water pick up) moved to transom where they belong. Extra vent is for potti. Fuel fill moved to centerline where it belongs. Custom upholstery, obviously. That is a pump out potti under the back seat. That is a custom fold out sun pad suitable for someone 7 ft long. Hull finished in Imron with clear coat. Custom swim platform with ladder underneath… where it belongs! Underwater lights. All running gear and all trim freshly rechromed. Trailer brand new a couple years ago and spent most time in storage while boat was finished. Maybe 500 miles on it. Disk brakes both axles. Oversized capacity for boat… I have receipts for MATERIALS well over 60k (wholesale pricing, mostly). On top of that, about 3,500 hours, which you get for free. Best offer buys it. It is truly like no other Coronado you will ever find. The pictures tell the story to a point. I can fill in the blanks over the phone. The boat is located in Naples, Florida. Ready to go. Close to 55 mph... maybe more! Stunning. Take it to the Century Roundup!!! Text first 239.963.5003 8 am to 8 pm. Here's the "finished product" post, to start. Constuction posts to follow. Thanks for looking!!!!!!

16 ft Feet 1960 Buehler Turbocraft

I finished the 13-year restoration of my1960 Buehler Turbocraft Jet 32, 16 ft Jet Boat in July 2022. I had undertaken the task of restoring this hull using modern materials and power. The goal was to maintain as much visual originality as possible with select upgrades. In 2010, I started out gang busters gutting the hull and laying the groundwork to reinforce the hull with 24/10 fiberglass cloth and West’s epoxy. The boat is built entirely of Corecell below the floor (stringers, bulkheads, transom) and ¾” marine plywood encased in epoxy and cloth for the floor. This project continued for 13 years as time, money and energy dictated. I got very serious in 2019 with the goal of finishing by the 2022 Boat Show Season. Original chrome was replated, aluminum and SS brightwork was rejuvenated. Original seat patterns were copied and color matched as close as possible, and the paint color replicated using one part polyurethane paint. The engine is a 1995 Ford 351W Marine engine removed from a very low hour pristine boat that was damaged. I installed SS impellers in the original Indiana Gear Works 3 stage pump housing during the complete rebuild. The gate assembly was powder coated white and the hydraulic cylinder rebuilt. A modern hydraulic pump is used to move the shift gate. I made the boat wire looms for the boat also. Many more details you’d have to talk to me about or see. Boat sits on a new Load Rite Aluminum I Beam trailer. You also get all the spare parts I have from salvaging 3 Buehlers. A must-see Award Winner. Since completion: Best Craftsmanship by Owner at Finger Lakes Chapter ACBS 2022; Best Non-Wood at Adirondack Chapter ACBS in Lake George 2022 and 1st Place Fiberglass Classic Runabout at the 47th Annual Portage Lakes Antique & Classic Boat Show 2023. I have decided to sell this boat as I have 6 other Classic boats and I feel this is the one I will use the least. Anyone that has restored a boat knows how expensive it is. I am giving up thousands of dollars in hard cash and the freebie is all my labor. The only thing I paid to have someone else do is the paint and upholstery. I did the rest of the restoration. Tough to let go but this boat needs to be seen and used. I have extensive pictures of the restoration for a serious buyer.

16 Ft Feet 1957 Crosby

Crosby Capri is a three deck front cockpit steering fiberglass runabout manufactured by Crosby Aeromarine of Grabill, Indiana. This company was one of the early pioneers in the use of this new and controversial construction material. At the time, this synthetic (fiberglass) was relatively new and untested, although fiberglass boat models had made their appearance as early as 1950. Widespread acceptance by the boating community was not gained, however until the mid 1950s when companies began to standardize construction methods. At issue were weight and flotation. While fiberglass was strong, it was also very heavy when layered to achieve the required level of strength. Further, it would not float when swamped so sealed air chambers had to be designed into the hull and/or styrofoam blocks fastened to the seat bottoms as an early solution. In fact this late 1957 model sports a 3 cubic foot air chamber under the front deck which added 200 lbs of additional buoyancy. The wood interior of the Crosby also aided in providing additional flotation through the 1957 model year. A fiberglass interior appeared in 1958 and later models. What set Crosby apart from its competitors was the incorporation of strips of balsa wood laminated between two fiberglass floor layers. The 2 cubic feet of balsa cut into 1 inch square by 6 ft strips added a conservative 105 lbs of additional buoyancy which was twice a buoyant as cork. Additionally the could bend to conform to hull contours, and had great shock absorbing and sound deadening properties. Abner Crosby, the company's founder sold out to Archer-Daniels-Midland in 1958 and went on to found the Hydrodyne Boat Company which produced similar boats. In fact, his quality reputation caused most of the original Mercury 7 astronauts to choose his boats for their personal use. Also, First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy ordered a Hydrodyne in 1963 for her family to use in their Cape Cod summer home.
