[QUOTE="Kismet, post: 398181, member: 8516"] Naw. This old sweetie deserves better than rat status. I just registered it on line. I love Wisconsin..a phone call and $26.00..and the decal is in the mail, never mind that it was last registered 22 years ago. I've got the 1956 10hp Johnson SeaHorse lying around waiting to be sold, but think I'll just use the 1964 5.5 Johnson, which is easier for me to handle. I called a guy who used to have a heated water pressure washer. He may still have it and I'll rent some time if he does. There's too much effort to bring this craft back down to aluminum, but with some surface prep and a little conscientious painting, in addition to the transom and (maybe) the cowl wood work, it'll clean up to be a pretty little thing. [b]It is 54 Inches Wide!!![/b] I'll see about the leaks. I just got a much-too-big Shorelander trailer for a little over $100, so the parts are coming into place. I think I'll replace the 13" 5 lug wheels, with 4.80x8 ones. They are cheaper and easily available. The oar locks are oddly positioned, very close to the rear bench, and a bit too far from the center bench. I got time. BB? You should buy that R boat up near you. You have the skills and that boat is 90% done!. [/QUOTE]
