[QUOTE="gillhunter, post: 331273, member: 5151"] Kismet, Great project! I grew up in the upper midwest and this boat reminds me of what I remember fishing boats were when I was young. Aluminum boats always had natural finishes, oars were required equipment, motors were always pull start, you sat on your life jacket, your livewell was a stringer, fish basket or bucket. Anchors where made of any heavy object you could tie a rope on. Tackle boxes were metal. Your cane pole or your anchor doubled as a depht finder and oars were your trolling motor. My 1648 doesn't even have oar locks, but I still have a pair of wooden oars in the corner of my garage. Didn't mean to ramble on like this but your project brought back a lot of memories of a simplier time. [/QUOTE]
