The seller did not think the wood was original, but rebuilt by a previous owner. I haven't seen enough to tell. Of particular note are the rod holders set in wood. Although they look ancient, I can hardly believe they're original. They're throughbolted, BTW. pics are here I was amazed at how different the "blue" gelcoat was from the color of mine. (It could be seen at all the places the paint was peeled off!) It was really green. Awful green! Edited by DelawareDan on 07/08/07 - 9:50 PM

I put a couple of Want To Buy ads in the local craigslist listings. I'm getting picky, though.... "once burned, twice shy"! Or an outstanding 17. (there is a reason why these hulls are revered! They're works of art!) I know a little better what to look for, now! Edited by DelawareDan on 07/08/07 - 10:23 PM
