Thank you for sharing your beautiful project. Can you please tell about the engine HP, gear ration and propeller size/dimentions?
wow… i’m blown away by your skill. glad to see you took the time with the details. i read that this boat cost $40K and 12000 hours, i was curious what % of the cost and time was just the inboard?
Thanks for the note. The engine alone was about $8K and then all the assorted things like a shaft, custom mounts, custome exhaust tips, etc. I guess that about $10 all together. Actually my out of pocket costs were about $60K. Now if I can sell it I can move on to another project!

It took me about three years part time. I estimate that it would be about 10 months full time. There is a drone video of the finished boat at my web page.
Awesome craft and beautifully done, sir. The Miss Chris is a future venture for me as I would like to produce one as close to the 1929 Chris Craft as possible. I grew up riding in one and staring at a second one awaiting restoration in a barn. Bob Clayton of Conesus, NY bought my childhood craft from my father in the early 1990’s and I have not seen “Screwed Together” since. I am awaiting my workshop to be built and then it is a project-go. If you have any points of advice/lessons learned based on the build rather than instructions, please e-mail them to bullrodman80@gmail.com. The hind-sight of others serves me as foresight. 🙂 Thank you sir and again, Bagheera is a beauty!
