1971 16' Canadian Crestliner mod

[matte]

I bought this boat a couple months ago. Mainly for the almost new engine and trailer well used only a handful of times since 1989, the previous owner inherited it but never used or registered it in 10 years. The motor is a 30hp Johnson, the hull has 20" sides going down to 15" at the transom. Its really thick aluminum, has welded chines and keel strip and transom (yet rivited seats and rub guards on the bottom). I'm bbuilding front and rear decks, and eventually remove the middle bench for a swivel. Pics to come.
