a double-dose of big boat projects 

You remind me so much of myself in my 20s and 30s working on boats. How many times have I been in a chain locker? The many times I had to crawl into tight spaces to work on engines. What satisfaction it is to learn as you go. I envy you young man. I miss those days.

Great projects and they look great! If you have a small shop vac, you can hook that to the sander and eliminate 95% of your dust. Great job!

Great results there on both jobs. 👍

Hey man, great project, you should also have the chain connected to the boat via a rope so in emergency situation you can let go of the anchor wih a knife 👍

Always love your enthusiasm and never give up nature!! Great vid!

I am really enjoying your channel, Cullen. Good to see you back on the horse. The bolt you removed from the pulpit for the anchor'r roller is a carriage bolt. The square shaft stops the bolt from rotating while you tighten the nut. This means you will have a much lower, domed head of the bolt in the roller, which is ideal for this apoplication. I would have sealed the insides of the hole you jigsawed for the roller.

Well gladto see you back Cullen! When using your anchor, you should attach a line called a Snubber or Bridle. Takes the stress of the pulpit and if it it stretches a bit will act as a shock absorber for when waves hit you boat. In the future if you have to plug screw holes, don't drill but just some glue and golf tees work perfectly. Glue in place and with a knife or whatever, cut the head off and done! See you in the next one friend.

Looks like everyone has the same thoughts. Epoxy and fiberglass the hole through your bowsprit and add a chain snubber. Love watching your videos!

Nice video dude. Glad you're back

I've always used multiple coats of marine Spar Varnish on mahogany. When you put about 5-6 coats on to make it look like glass, then as it ages from the weather all you need to do is give it a light sanding and then recoat. And yes, you should have never ever sanded that in the main cabin. I would varnish it in the main cabin to keep the bugs off it but never sand, in fact I would of used paint and varnish remover on it to get most of it off before I gave it a light sanding

Love the videos Cullen. I can't get enough. You are one of maybe 3 guys that I see on RU-vid that have inspired me to buy a live aboard. Try posting weekly. Love the content

Glad to see you back on the boat! Did you ever go back and epoxy the wood on the cut that you made to install your anchor roller? If not you should to protect it!

I'm not a boat guy but I really enjoy this. Keep the videos coming.

Glad you’re back.

You need to fiberglass the hole in the bowsprit. If you need help or guidance feel free to reach out as I'm local and do gel coat and fiberglass.

Cullen always check McMaster-Carr for your hardware/bits etc. Good luck!

Great video

Such great videos. 👍

I’ve caught up watching all of your Chris Craft videos, and I am glad I found your channel. You are comfortable in front of the camera, and you show all the aspects of your project, not just the best of. I am interested in maybe someday fixing up a vessel similar to yours, and using is as a destination for the family, and someday some exploring. I’ve used RU-vid to help restore a 22’ sailboat and a 13’ whaler…maybe the whaler will be our dingy some day. A couple questions please, I do not expect a response if you feel it be inappropriate to ask. 1. If you did it all over again, would you negotiate a lower purchase price based on the engine work you performed? Did you have an idea on the engine condition at purchase? 2. Do all Corinthians have a dual helm? There is one on market place in VT near Lake Champlain and no pics of the helm(s). 3. While I enjoy the fact you are not asking for money or sponsors, would you ever consider setting something up so someone could contribute to your adventure? Looking forward to your next video release. Thank you, Kris, Pennsylvania

Cullen look into power winch windlass. I installed one on my 1980 40’ Jersey sportfish..

Hey Cullen, first off great job on all your videos and for getting your 380 in shape. I to just purchased 1979 CC 380. May be can compare notes on some projects. Cheers H. Foster

Wait until he finds out that lowes isn't the only source for bolts.... Going to blow his mind.

Oh man another Team Milwaukee boater.

Fun videos Cullen, why not varnish the door after tongue oil, would keep the door looking good longer?.

Fun video! I liked seeing your “command center” when making vids. I would have been scared to cut that hole in a boat. Good job! Also, it’s good you found my missing yard stick 😘 And the best part was the VR at the end. Too funny 😂

you are killing me with that refurbishing work area....dust .... but great effort

We learn by doing. You did and you learned. Very good on you. Alan

Thanks for the video Cullen. You always produce an informative and interesting video. Great job!

It’s probably too late now but with all that sawdust you made while sanding inside your cabin (bet you will never do that again) you should check to make sure your bilge pumps are not clogged from the sawdust. You should maybe consider telling your viewers ahead of time what boat projects you will be working on in the future. We Monday morning quarterbacks could then give you our suggests before you start the project and who knows, we may even be able to provide some useable advice on occasion.

Great video! good choice of format for smaller projects. your followers want to see it all, so get it all out there. I'm still looking forward to the carbs, because i have to do mine.

forgot to ask do you know how many zincs are on each engine? thanks

Cool

awesome stuff, great job..FYI should install A BITTER END..thanks for vids

You gonna epoxy in that huge hole you made for that chain? you got raw wood exposed to water....it will soak up and start to rot....just a pointer

Videos are great man, love your energy! Keep it up :)

It looks like if you dropped the anchor and pulled it up three times per week, you'd have a great full body workout.

Just use threaded rod

i want to know about ga1000. is it still working well ?

Do you think you will always use the boat as your primary residence or later on as a secondary one? Plus I don't recall seeing the heating system? Take care. Best of luck to you.🚤
