Thank you clownfish, I sure hope. But like all boats, it will always be a work in progress...
Dredge it is a 1961 fastwin 18...
Went to Wendy's to get dinner tonight as I didn't feel like cooking, and seen an old boat in the Cash Saver parking lot. I swung in and talked to the gentle man about his. It was an old Lund with a Johnson 20hp of about the same vintage as mine. Real nice set-up he had. As it turns out he lives about a 1/4 mile from me...
Don't forget the solid blocks of foam that fill the spaces under the seat boards. Flotation ya know. I rehabbed my first boat, a 16' Richline, 25 Evinrude. 1969.
Yep, definatly needthe flotation foam. Not sure which way I'm gonna go here but sure don't want to have to haul it up from the bottom should something happen and it gets swamped. did you usetwo part pour in or block styren on yours ? peculiarmike...
1969. I used blocks, cut to fit with mother-in-law's electric knife. She never knew.
If she ever reads this she'll know...any hoo, may I ask where you got the blocks, as I'm having a hard time finding any. Thought of making a mold out of wood about the size of my seats, line it with maybe some heavy plastic, and casting some 2 part expanding foam...just don't want it to stick to the wood...
