[QUOTE="Piomarine, post: 506118, member: 16014"] Long update post warning… I’ve been stripping all the hardware off of the hull and I mean everything! Windshield, bow light, bow handle, pulleys, rollers, mysterious old screws plugging up mysterious old holes…if it was attached it’s not anymore! Tonight I started building a motor stand for the ‘73 50hp that came with it. My intention is to not use that motor and opt for my 56 Lark 30hp project motor instead. Once I can get the motor off and the transom wood removed I can start stripping the 3-4 layers of paint on this thing inside and out! I’ve used aircraft stripper in the past but I am open to other (cheaper) options. Also, I have a question for any vintage Alumacraft guys out there. What the heck is this device that came off my dash??? It says override and it had an electric toggle switch for something (lights I assume) but for the life of me I cannot figure out what that tube the came out of it would have been for. It says temp next to the hole but there’s nothing to indicate what it was…more pictures to come tomorrow. It was raining tonight (finally) Lastly GO RANGERS!!!!!!! World Series here we come! I was definitely watching that game rather than working on the boat tonight lol. [/QUOTE]
