I am a bit tired of the labor and dollars that is needed to keep this woody afloat. Can anyone tell me if the bleeding will ever slow down, these money transfusions are taking a toll on my check book.
Everyone cannot own a CorrectCraft, may be I have too many

Billy - The bleeding stops when you run out of blood. There are those that appreciate what you do, a small consolation.

As I look back on the start of the resto, I did not think it would take as long .. Alan and his thread brought back a lot of memories andt the long nites required to bring the old girl back to her former glory days..
There are far too few wooden CC,s on this site as well as in the water. This alone will not fill the gap between Chris Craft and CorrectCraft but we need to at least try... I only wish there was more documentaion on Doc Time, as far as we know , this is a one off. Interior layout, Interceptor engine, and folding windshield all add to this being a unique build. At one time we assumed it was a Starflite, but the Data Tag info for a Starflite begins with a "ST " Doc Time has a Data Tag with "SF". There seems to be NO record of this designation in 1954... The plot thickens.........Anyone have any thoughts on this matter.......I have entered her in several boat shows, but have yet to gain more info than what we started with.........Ha Ha Ha |

Very cool deck lines. A thing of beauty!
