I was raised on them my dad hada couple of Century's w/ flat head 6's I had to scrape chalk paint varnish ect-ect-ect every spring of my child hood, but didn't really learn my lesson until I was in my 20's when I had a few wood cruser's. My last one about killed me 1967 36 ft Chris Craft Challenger sedan after I finally got rid of that one the lesson was learned THEY ARE JUST WAY TO MUCH WORK! But they sure are pretty and nothing sits as proud in he water as an old woodie.
Hey Cosmic, nice avatar!!!:sifone: An old freind of mine, Jack Schilling owns Schilling toy co. About 20 years ago we were hanging around drinking beers and I told him he should build some tin boats to ad to his tin toy line. He was interested but knew nothing about boats. I got together a stack of classic boat books and we spent a bunch of nights drinking beer and going over what we could make. Your tin boat was designed by yours truly!:sifone: My claim to fame!
Sorry for the hi-jack!

COOL!!! I collect tin toys boats and cars. I prefer old ones but when I saw the Popeye boat I just had to have LOL. Good job!!! Any more? I like the performance type models. Always looking for more, the wife hates'em kinda makes me buy more LOL .
We had 5 or 6 different themes all on the same hull design. One of them, my favorite, looked like an original gold cup racer. I've got a box full of all the models somewhere in my basement.
Toys aren't just for kids!:sifone:

Cruisers Inc here as well Chris, my grandfather had a 16 when i was a kid. When i got older and started using the boat on my own i would go just about anywhere with it. Twenty two mile run from the cottage to Put-in-Bay in that little thing and i was like thirteen or so, tell ya one thing you develop a respect for Lake Erie real quick. No gps or radar back than but i was out there.

I have a 1960 Century Resorter that i am currently in the process of restoring and this spring i will start working on a new non soak bottom . Dave my grandfather also had a lap strake hull made by Cruisers and it was yellow which he kept at his cottage up at Houghton Lake here in Mich. 
Dave,
Looks like Lost Peninsula or maybe Mienke's ...? Saw some really bad conditions develop out there REAL FAST and yes, it definately teaches you to respect the lake. I remember when you saw the burn-off torches on top of the Sun refinery east of Toledo, that meant you were almost home.
