That's a sharp boat I like the dual cockpit setup. Have you decided on a motor yet?

Really cool looking old boat you bought.

I could see that being either a fishing boat or a classic runabout to cruise in.

Thank you 450clown !! the front cockpit does have the walk through seat backs.. I'm not sure on the motor yet.. I can't find much info on the models of these boats and from the little I have found this one really doesn't fit the specs listed.. I have a few motors I can choose from.. 1958 Mercury Mark 75 60hp, 1957 Evinrude Lark 35hp. or a 1957 Mercury Mark 30 30hp. my first thought is the Mark 75 60hp..

Thank You bikerider !! it is a classic looking runabout.. but... it also is open enough for some fishing as well .. so sort of a win win boat !!

Now that's the spirit!

If you start a build thread for it I would definitely follow.

Nice looking rig. I have seats similar to your two front ones except mine are mounted on boxes with storage under. Mine are made by Tempress. I like them a lot. Very comfortable and so far they are holding up well. Enjoy.
