Old Sid~Craft

[nbranews]

Here is an old sidcraft we pulled out of the shed and are going to start restoring. Also a picture of a Quincy "D" looper we will be hanging on it.
The boat had the cloth deck and the rest of the decking replaced by Kenny Krier bacl in the late 70's. The motor was reconditioned a few years ago.

1962 Sid Craft

I have an original 1962 Sid Craft that looks identicle to the one in your picture, except mine has the cloth deck and Hells Bells painted on the sides.
Did you finish restoring yours? Do you have additional info on the boat?

Do you have a picture of 'Hells Bells" ?
-It was my old CSH, It was my Dad's A Alky Anzani boat when it was new. Would love to see it again.

The 1957 Sids had a different cowl then that. That cowling style came out in 1961 and continued after that as standard.

1962 Sidcraft

I bought it off of my grandfather Glen Mizer from Canton,Ohio.
It's still in great shape other than the 2 holes my kids put in the canvas. I would like to get the canvas replaced if anybody has any ideas.
I also have the Mercury Hurricane , got it up to 65 mph last time I had it out.
I will take some pictures over the weekend and post them.

Replace the cover is easy. Go to Aircraft Spruce.com they the have Dope and Fabric you need. Or go to a local Aircraft Mechanics school and they can show you how.

Deck..............

Joe.............This is a piece of cake. I was about 12 when my Dad taught me to do a linen/dope deck. I have been EXTREMELY lucky since then and am happy with all the ones I have done. All you need is 3 or 4 square yards of aircraft linen, some linen tape, and some nitrate dope. Getting all this stuff is harder than doing the job. If I can help, feel free to e-mail. Have fun..........
