To CompleteHardware needs to be installed (I have a box of original chrome hardware that came with it). Chrome is in good shape. I was not planning to re-chrome them.Electrical needs to be updated. Pretty simple on this boat.Splash rail/chine needs another coat of paint. I have the paint.Needs seats. I have originals. I was planning to build new ones.

IncludesGalvanized Shore Lndr TrailerCanvas Bimini Top (original to boat, not many have these)Steering Wheel (cable)1957 35 HP Evinrude Lark short shaft (original to boat). Turns over well with the electric start, I think it would run if some work was put into it (stripped spark plug, engine cover is in rough shape, needs new prop).

It would take very little to finish it, the hard work is complete.

I just want to get my money back that I have invested in this beauty (not including endless hours). Really a pretty cool boat. If you buy an old wood boat to restore, you will have much more money in it, not too mention endless hours then you would with this one. The hard work is done.
