Stick with the 50's
« on: Today at 07:54:46 AM »
Not sure where to put this so start here.  Just picked up a unique, solid 1951 survivor, 14' aluminum boat built in Spokane. 
Want to keep everything period correct.
I'm getting some good contacts and options on motors, always take more.  18 - 25 hp motor 1951- 1952.  I have a 2hp Elgin located.
Will need a trailer sooner than later.  I'm sure it will need work too.  Trailer on now just for moving around in shop. 
Looking for contacts for hand lettering 50's font and maybe pin striping.  Will be one of the last steps.  I might do the strip and paint.
Trying to get it all lined out. 

Wife thinks I've gone nuts but gave me a pass, after just finishing my fishing boat project.  Told her this one is preserving history.   :dunno:
Economy failure = Too many people spending money they don't have on things they don't need to impress people they don't like.
