I picked this trailer up along with a 1960 Cruiser Seafarer. The restoration turned out pretty cool.

I'm trying to replace the gasket material around the windshield glass on this boat. I saved the originals but they are stained badly and so far I haven't been able to clean. At one point, either on this forum or The Wooden Boat Forum, someone produced the same gasket profile and had it for sale. Any...

Gonna repost this part so it doesn't get lost...

Can any of the Cruiser owners tell me where to find the rub rail insert that fits the original profile?

I'm not seeing an obvious fit via the obvious retailers.

Thanks!

Thanks for looking Karl. I probably have close to 200 hours into the resto at this point. Very impressed with the Smith products for repair and fairing. That Fill-It was very easy to use and really helped fair that garboard out. The trailer did some serious keel and garboard damage. Most of my trim ...

Finally posted project pics to Photobucket if you'd like to see them

Ok, now I've got her flipped and I'm working on the topsides.

It's Marine Life Caulk in the subject line, kind of small

I'm having a devil of a time with this stuff curing. I used it to reinstall the keelson on the Cruiser and it's no where near sandable after nearly two weeks. I read on a product review that you could coat it with a latex primer in the event the cure time was slow. Anyone every experienced this? Fru...

by the way, John, I keep a picture of you and your Cruiser handy as inspiration and to show friends what mine is gonna look like.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your thoughts. I ended up going with the Interlux Brightside one part product with an Interlux primer. As of this afternoon I have the first coat of primer on and I'm looking forward to the next one. The hull repair I did turned out sweet. Sistered some new ribs and replace...

I'm not sure if this guy still posts on this forum. I was able to track him down via Ebay through Mopar Recyclers. You could email him that way to inquire about the parts left on this boat. I was able to get the Cruiser emblems and they were in outstanding shape. You could say that Andy referred you...

I've spent some time looking at older posts but can't seem to find the specifics I'm looking for, so here goes: I'm down to bare wood on the hull and a bit confused about the right way to seal/prime/paint, and which material combination is best. This boat will be trailered and not sit in the water o...
