I have a 37 foot tri-cabin, 1967 vintage that looks like a hurricane
survivor (or loss). My problem is I have meerley been babysitting the
boat for ten years since insurance loss made it avaiable for me. I got
the boat from two gentlemen that were going to cut it up for table tops.
One of the men was Mr Ray Anderson, who at that time owned one of your
52' fiberglass beauties. He wanted the generator, the other wanted the
engines. Anyway, I still have the boat mostly intact, floating on life
support, and looking very poor, like I am. I am in the lake of the
Ozarks in Missouri where the theme is mostly out with the old and in
with the new. I need to do something with the boat, as it is becoming an
eyesore, and a financial burden. I do not have money to fix it up, but I
do have a backhoe to destroy it with. What should I do?

Should I destroy the boat with a backhoe?

Yes.
And video tape it and put it on the web.

The magazine "Wooden Boats" used to have a page in the back that was full of
"free to a good home"...listings. All sorts of wooden craft were given away
to people who had the time and money to restore them. I'd certainly look
into that.

also, a posting on Google of Chris Craft Groups brought many responses.
I'll bet they would have an interest in your vessel

Just one of the hits......

-Should I destroy the boat with a backhoe?-

Bilge- Y'know, some outfit in Oakland was selling a home built plywood
submarine that they "think" can submerge to 33'..(personally, I think it can
submerge far deeper than that, not so sure if it can accomplish an ascent from
any depth, though) ...on e-bay.

Put the critter on e-bay for a week while you master your video camera for
Captain Bill's "Plan B" suggestion.
