A couple of weeks ago we attended that ACBS symposium at the Mariner's Museum in Virginia, the home of the Chris Craft archives. Most of the people in attendance were involved in restoring runabouts, though we did meet a few people with big boat experience. Also, attendees had access to the archives, including working drawing for our boats. I went through construction drawings with the original architects notations on them ("make this door wider? NO", that sort of thing). Very cool. I ordered several copies, though I didn't find detailed drawing of the head.

Also, we met a lot of nice, helpful people who had lots of ideas on how to go about redoing the hull. More on that later.
