[QUOTE="wingsnhammers, post: 304348, member: 9821"] Looks like she could use a little TLC. Mine was in almost the exact same shape when I picked it up. I've probably got 30 small screw holes to fill and I had to remove about 3 pounds of old, rusted hardware. I will tell you this, though. You will appreciate all the work you put into it. I was a bit skeptical about my boat at first. I was buying a boat that was made in the 60s, out of aluminum, and I had no idea as to the build quality, durability, or floating characteristics. I was afraid to put much money or time into it until a few days ago, which was the first "water test". Now, I know that our boats aren't identical. They aren't very different, though. I can tell you that mine is very stable and capable. Yours will probably be even better. Have fun with the build and keep the pics coming! [/QUOTE]
