[QUOTE="tccanoe, post: 167482, member: 3325"] What a cool Ted Williams retro motor. I hope it runs like a top. It was made during the early space-age era and everything back then had to look like a rocket going to the moon. That's why Andy's '64 Ford had booster rocket tail lights. Too cool. They say ol' Ted Williams had such good eye sight he could tell which way the ball was spinning when it left the pitcher's hand and would know how it was going to break. Oh. You asked about a boat. It's a small boat so keep any decking low low low. Look at the top of this forum at the topic "Decking when to and when not to." You want to stay away from 2x4's because of the weight. 2x2's or aluminum tubing for your bracing. Stay away from pressure treated plywood as it has bad reactions with aluminum. Snoop around this site and look at what other people have done with boats like yours. Clean your motor up but don't ever paint it. It's worth a lot more with the original Ted Williams on it. Why not stay with the rocket theme. Lots of lights and a cock pit like area around the tiller. Old Air Force paint scheme on the exterior. I don't drink and I'm not on drugs but it don't mean I'm not crazy. [/QUOTE]
