[QUOTE="Johnny, post: 435898, member: 13599"] Slip - do you have papers for it? a model and serial number will help you find photos of restored models to pattern after. there are probably dozens of methods of steaming wood. the simplest one I have seen so far is this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--iPQIwSEJM the wood should be kept very hot and wet with live steam. especially white oak. https://www.retrocrestliner.com has a few projects of this boat. a little woodworking experience will be helpful as the wood strips must be scarf joined. some use white oak (which must be special cut or ordered at a lumber yard). there are some substitutes used but you would have to do some research on that for your area. plywood was not used on the original... so if you are working toward a period correct restore, white oak or similar will have to be used. some ideas: https://forum.tinboats.net/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=36961 also - visit the good ole YouTube for tutorials on just about everything. (their way may not be the correct way, but will give you some ideas). . [/QUOTE]
