[QUOTE="Earlo, post: 186252, member: 4386"] I was looking at your pictures and noticed the one with the bottle opener. I also have a '50's era DeSoto that was my Dad's and has been in the family since new. It's a 12 foot. It also has a cast iron Pepsi Cola bottle opener. I always thought this was something my father added, but maybe it was original issue. Or an optional upgrade! Good luck with your build, and will be looking on with interest. Also, on my 12', I replaced the transom last summer and stopped there before buying a wider, 14' tracker. A wire wheel on a drimmel and some WD40 did a great job of cleaning the rust off of that bottle opener. [/QUOTE]
