here is the latest from the past few months
the previous owner mel contacted me to let me know he had some of the original parts still. he had
the front vent that actually goes with the front light casting.
the prop shaft and coupling.
the tow rope bar, it goes between the front seat and doghouse.
he didnt have the bracket to hold it. i have
no idea how its held in. so ill have to do some research. here are some photos of the front vent. he polished it pretty nicely. hopefully i can get the light casting as bright and i wont need to send it to the plater.
mel read my blog post and didnt let these go as cheaply as the boat! mel i hope you are still following. we will go for that boat ride soon!
I also cut all the frames and other pieces that i needed. below is a picture of the front stem and a transom bow (or frame stake) the christmas tree one is the front stem. these are designed a little different than other boats i've been reading about..
these were originally made from mahogany, but i chose white oak.
the front stem knee (the curved piece below) i thought was a little too much complicated for me.
