You should readdress this to the fellow who runs our shameless commerce
division.

After Tom's post about Goggle, I have been looking over Goggle, and
notice they have an interesting feature I had not noticed before. If
you click on "view profile", they not only show recent activity, post
activity by month, but also a "users average rating", which shows if
others using Goggle groups find the information provided by a user as
helpful or not.

Now at $7,100 - doesn't look like there's much left of it, under the "thin
fiberglass sheet" - especially since the photos are date-stamped 3 years
ago.
Very sad, hope the buyer can make something of it.

$80k asking price for a restored one:

http://www.everyboat.com/c/s/1939-ch...about_1026.htm

Replacement parts are very expensive:

http://www.californiaclassicboats.com/chris1.htm

Considering the time and expense needed to restore this boat only someone
who absolutely loves doing the work would consider taking this skeleton of a
boat on.

I will be putting up on eBay - MissChiTown three Chris Crafts in the next couple weeks:
1939 Barrell Back 19ft.
1955 Capri 20 or 21'
1961 Runabout 17'
I am waiting to take good pictures but feel free to contact me if you are interested in a 1939 Barrell Back.
Thanks,
Debbie
