Preservation, Restoration, Maintenance, even Enjoyment of all boats, leads to questions from most of us.
Many questions come through this website. Most are channeled on to experts who can answer the question and give advice.
Some questions might have multiple answers or might need regional suggestions. Contacting someone in an ACBS Chapter near you will probably be of the most benefit.
Questions and Comments are welcome in the “Leave a Reply” box at the end of each News Post. Although some questions added to older posts just seem to get lost. Here is an example:
“I’ve just taken on CC Commander ’69 for refurbish. On this boat the forward decks are covered in vinyl like carpeting. I’ve never seen this. Was this original? If not what should the decks be? Grateful in advance for any info,
S. Woods Hiawassee, Ga.”
