    Got a v boat. Unsure of model.

    That looks to be similar, but it is probably a different year. Maybe older. The handle on the back is on the corner piece (Made all together).i say handle and not handles because one is gone. I would like to replace it if i could find a matching one.

    It just took some time. The bottom isnt the best but its not much to worry about. Can see here what the sides look like. Im trying to decide if I want to change the seats around or do any modification to the interior. Its plain now. Looks factory. Dont want to add but very little weight...

    Got more time to look it over. No s/n or any kind of markings. I started shining it up to. This is what it is so far.

    Lone Star 1956 Restore

    I started mine with a brillo pad. The brillo pad did clean it, but was leaving what looked like scratches. I used steel wool. I even got the spot from the Brillo pad so it didn't look to bad.

    I've been searching the web. Cant seem to find the right match for this boat. Going by the rivets it has at least a 10 inch name plate. I would replace them if I could find what boat it is and find the plates. I have also found out I can get it legal. So I need to know what size motor I could...

    Here is before and now. I think I'll leave it like it is for now. Also found these three rivets while cleaning. Was where the name plate was. The two fartherest are about 10 inches (top pic)

    Finally got time to start cleaning up the boat. Im trying to decide what to do. Leave it like it is or paint it. Has anyone used anything like rhino liner on the bottom or is that a bad idea.

    What do you do for a living? or Fun (boating not allowed)

    I went by grave digger when I talked on the cb. I can say that I'm one of the last people that will let you down.[emoji1]

    I guess I'm a odd ball unless I've missed one. I dig graves. Have Did it since I can remember. My grandfather owned a monument company and I worked their through high-school. I have picked up other skills through my years(29). I can operate almost any equipment, build, wire, plum, do some...

    Thanks. Are the pieces of foam under the seats necessary? if there not needed I'm thinking about boxing in under the seats for storage.
