[QUOTE="fflsuun, post: 361180, member: 14849"] Hi John, I saw the pics of your new project and it took my breath away a bit.. I've never seen a boat exactly like mine, but yours is identical. I suppose I haven't looked a lot but I have the exact same boat as yours (without the stickers..).. I got mine in 1976 for my 6th Birthday present. My father owned a Dental office in Meigs, GA and someone traded the boat to him for some dental work. I've taken mine down many rivers in FL, Flondering in Northwest Florida, Scalloping in Port St Joe, even shark fishing in the gulf. I capsized it once in Pensacola Bay, but thanks to the foam under the seats I was able to swim it in to shore. I'm also about to begin to restore mine, as well as add on a few things that will make it a little more stable, and useful. My main concern is that the metal in some spots is thin so I'm going to try to make it a little stronger. I'll let you know how it goes and let me know if I can be of some help.
