- Any issues with driving from the front of crankshaft?
hi tony, are you still restoring the 1942?Thanks for the acceptance to the forum. I'm new to the wood boat restoration process and I recently took ownership of a 1942 17' Chris Craft Special Runabout. Its in pieces, but I think I have them all. I also have the original Model K and a 1950ish CC 283. In doing some research, my plan is to sell the Model K and power it with the 283. Is this still a good plan? What known issues should I plan to avoid in restoring the 283? What would be a good sources for selling the K? Approximate price for original motor (turns over by hand)?
Thanks for helping a newbie.
