Great job. I have a Sears 1436, pre HIN(hull identification nunmber) days.

All good. Still have my Sears 1436, 1967 or 69. Your work is inspiring.

Okay, makes sense now. Got that same 15-1/2" measure on my Sears. I use a short foot Mercury 9.9 in water about 1.5 - 5ft depending on lake level.

This is fantastic.

Very interesting. Those sponsoons blew my mind. We have bayou type conditions here. Thought it was some kind of hydrofoil at first. I commented earlier about having the exact same boat, Sears, 1969 model with the hole in bottom instead of lower rear. Mine has no HIN# because it was...

i LOVE MY 1436 for duck hunting. Less is more.

The rods work well. I filled abot 10 rivet holes in transom, then took the boat out a few days later. Zero problems.

Very useful tip. Here's hoping I'll find.

Its coming!

I used my body weight to force tight in position. Apparently, I need to lose weight.

Cannot find these transom supports anywhere.

Partner, I have this exact boat. Same drain plug arrangement/cover, and the Sears tag hanging on by one rivet. I registered to be a member here, when I saw your' project. I bought the boat in the 70's when I was fifteen. I'm 55 now. Long story shorter, you have inspired me to rebuild it...
