I recently picked this boat up for free. Can anyone help me out as to the make of it. The reg says it a 1965 but not what it is. My plans are to use a jetski motor and build a jet boat. Hopefully it'll all work out. now gotta find a jetski.

nice looking boat. i have the same boat im building. i have a 1969 evinrude 25 hp and everyone has told me that a 25 on this boat will go pretty fast something like 30 to 35 mph. check out my build https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=18642

Great job so far it's looking good wish I had thought of that to get all the paint off mine. Well all I can say is it's a good thing you didn't go with the wire wheel idea cause it takes for freaking ever, I'm still not done with mine. And you cant go very long with it cause the grinder gets...

The one in the first pic is just a scratch and the other is a few really dents from something but i dont think any of it is all the way through there was some crappy bondo on it and is why i didnt notice it before.

once i got over that issue, which was supposed to be just changing the points, i started onto something else. The long gruling prosses of grinding this thing down. and man i tell you no matter what it is you use to do this it will deffinitly wear your a** out. I keep getting tired off one spot...
