Hi all, Is there a place where I can buy plans and/or take a class to prepare me to build a knock-off of an early 1940's Chris-Craft Deluxe Runabout or similar vintage boat? Thanks! >> Stay informed about: Newbie question

Lots of plans to buy. Get something in the same build method as your Chris-Craft. Also some classes available. Depends on where you're located. Matt JEM Watercraft >> Stay informed about: Newbie question

Thanks to all for the helpful responses. I am located in the midwest, but willing to travel anywhere in the lower 48 for the right class. Can you point me to a list? Also, how should I go about determining the build method of a C-C runabout? I my primary woodworking experiences have been cabinetmaking and timber framing, so I realize I have a lot to learn about boats.

I would recommend buying an old one and restoring it. Will be worth more when time comes to sell. If want a build a boat, in my humble opnion, working with goos and epoxies are to be avoided. Traditional boatbuilding is much more enjoyable to me. Try Don Dannenberg's two books on runabout restoration. There's a lot to learn, but you already have woodworking experience. Don't try to "drink from the firehose." Take it easy.learning the stuff. Good luck. >> Stay informed about: Newbie question
