[QUOTE="catsmith, post: 479707, member: 9032"] Let the fun begin. I bought a 1954 Feathercraft Favorite Model to fix up and use. I stressed over whether to go back original or make it more comfortable. After talks with my fishing partners, (my Bride and my Father), comfort rules. It is a 15' hull rated at 15hp. We don't see hulls like this in Louisiana. Flatbottom rules here. It came with a 15hp from the early 70s (?)..... have not tried it yet. The plans are to replace all the wood, add some creature comforts, maybe paint it bright green (grandsons favorite color), fix up the trailer and fish as much as possible. I like working with wood so maybe the creative juices will flow. I will post updates as I go. [/QUOTE]
