My Dad had the same boat with a 10 horse Evinrude in the later 50s. Lots of crappie caught from that boat!

James, my first boat back in the early '90s had a 1966 Fastwin just like that. I caught more fish on that little 12' boat than on any boat since.

Hey Eric have you had her out yet? Last I heard you were still putting the finishing touches on it!

Hey Joedog...Believe it or not, no. Momma Retired and came off the road, and then winter set in. As you can see by the pick, I don't have any covered shelter to work in, so during the winter I cant do much. I put that aluminum sheet on the bow but it's really not strong enough as is to support the torque of the trolling motor as I had planned. So here shortly I'll be putting a piece of plywood under that attached to it to tame the torque, I hope. Once that's done I need to install the front deck so I can actually use the foot control,(cable type). Then the maiden voyage...Just hope nothing comes up to take away from getting this done. Oh yea, momma couldn't stand all the down time and went back to driving part time anyway...3-4 days out then back home for the rest of the week. I'm hoping to have it in the water by no later than late spring first of summer...just have to see...But thank you for asking...

I got a 16fr richlind and a 20hp johnson new in 1969, man was I in tall cotton.

I sure like it

All I can say is I love my boat and it's now 12 years older than when this thread started!

Oh and Who the heck is Alex! AKA - APKape?????
