I like surfman, would be very curious if the boat would float if filled with water. In my opinion, if it did float, it would go turtle because it doesn't have any level flotation capabilities! Be safe.
That's an amazing job you have done thus far with this restore. Email ALUMACRAFT, I'm confident that they will have the original decals for you. Good luck!

It is for the steering cable when you make a turn. I forget what way - left or right. It does look like it has been cut off a bit though. Turn the wheel both directions and you should be able to see what I mean! :)
Finally coming to their senses!! =D>

what fool4fish said PLUS flotation foam is like insurance....you need it, but hope that you'll never need to use it!
"]The foam is for if the boat takes on water. As I said, I will be replacing the foam under the front deck. It'll be more than was in the bench seat.
That would be 1997.....the last year they made the model 14S. That model used to be called an F7. There were well over a half million of those models made till the end of the '97 model year. The transom, as well as the port and starboard sides of the hull were "stretch formed".
