Hello and thanks Mbullen. Did I mention she has aluminum oars! My favorite thing is her lovey transom shape….her Tumblehome. I took out the throttle cables but will leave the wheel and evinrude throttle case for posterity… she IS a tank and has very little leaking. I am curious about the 3...

Hello, as of today I really see that the trailer is, as you have written, too far gone. I laid under and can see too much corrosion to fix☹️. I started to look on marketplace and Craig’s list. There was a good affordable option. They only posted one photo straight on. By the time I asked for the...

Continuing…I get to Lowe’s and over wanders the Lowe’s lumber dude to help. He had no idea all the thought I had in my choice. My husband was with me and wants very little to do with anything boat or water related….so it did not take long for sales dude to convince husband that we needed to get...

Anyway…. Don’t know why stuff repeats like that. This whole wood aspect of my project is making me crazy. I finally headed off yesterday to Lowe’s to get wood after researching copiously on here and other places. My intention was to get exterior grade plywood to use for A) the outter transom...

Hi loosescrew. It does say rated for 20 hp. That’s what is have. Not vintage though.

Well isn’t she nice! Thank you for the info and sharing pictures. What did you seal the seams with? Cool that you used vinegar.

Look at the wheel way back there compared to mine! Very similar though. And the ID is stamped clearly in the back inside. Thank you

Wow. I am on my 3rd reading of your message and may need to print it and take it section by section. I am startled by the layers of ply and epoxy followed by drilled out holes w aluminum’s and epoxy! And bed liner paint, why not? I can only imagine your proceeding boats. At the end of the day I...

Could someone explain. When I post to one comment/person am I posting to everyone that replied to me? I was trying to reply to each person and it looks like I posted the same thing 3 times.

Poo poo was supposed to be on a comment about my corroded trailer. I am still learning

Huge smile from Melissa down here in SW Fl on SPLASH day! Looks sweet on the water! Thank you for sharing I may never have found that on here. Wondering if that light on your bow is what was on this bow hood way back? There are so many holes there. I have been stewing on what to put there to...

Thank you. Question: would you prime with FuzzyGrub, I just discovered the trailer is almost corroded through in back. I posted a video to Stevum of it moments ago. I am still learning to navigate a forum. I don’t know where the video went. I don’t see it now. Perhaps it has to be approved...

Thank you. Question: would you prime with Zinc Chromate? What did you use? And do you think I have sanded enough? I am so happy to get replies to my post. Thank you.

Canoe, I don’t know where to post. I hv some questions. Where did you move my post so I know where to go. Thanks? Hi, My brother just dropped by and we got under and noticed that the trailer is about to corrode off in the back. Same spot both sides. He is suggesting I get a smaller diameter...

Forgive me if I hv posted in the wrong place and set me straight. This is my first time other than the introduction. I rescued this little vessel from a back yard in SWFlorida. She was ignored covered by tall grasses and full of old rainwater and leaves. The owner inherited her from a Michigan...

Hello, I have been around boats all my life but a different variety. I acquired this boat few years ago after spotting it in an overgrown back yard in North Port Florida. In spite of the weeds and being full of leaves and stagnant water I was drawn to her sweet lines. Her transom had tumblehome...

Hello and thank you for creating this group, I have joined so that I can learn from all of you. I spotted this 1959 AlumaCraft boat in someone’s backyard several years ago. I’ve always admired the look of tumblehome on various vessels throughout my life. In spite of the fact that she had been...
