Nice boat, JGibson! I re-did a 1958 richline Big 16 a couple of years ago, really like how these boats are built, very sound hulls for the weight. Have you looked at the Richline boats page at Yahoo Groups? You have to sign up but there are 180+ members, some of who are super knowledgeable...

Nice boat, love the high sides and the bow angle!

Nice boat! I also have a 16 foot richline, a 1958. Check out the Yahoo groups page if you haven't already. You have a nice blank canvas to work with. Will be following-

Nice tin! If you haven't been there yet there is a yahoo groups page about richline boats, you have to request to be a member but the admin is super cool and friendly. They have a lot of the original literature from the 50's and 60's as well as a lot of photos of other peoples richlines...

Cool boat, I really like the way the splash well is formed. My '58 16 foot richline came with a partially cut out bow cap, they moved it forward about 8 or 10 inches and built a bulkhead out of plywood and capped the cut edges with wood to give strength and protection (all of which was rotten...

Looks great, that powder coat should be super tough!

Looks like a great place to start, the RL's I have seen are all well made.

I have a 14' lateen rigged sunfish, in order to get enough wind with a single sail an efficient lateen rig uses a large enough sail that I would be worried about capsizing in moderate wind in a light tin with no centerboard. I agree that a dory or sailing dinghy would handle better under sail...

I am from 30 miles north of Lake Cumberland, great lake with lots of options. It is a finger lake with tons of runs and coves, it has the longest shoreline of any man made lake in the US. It was maintained at low levels for five or six years while leaks in the dam were repaired, now back at...

Great start, should be plenty of room in that tin!

Really like the way the forward side console blends with the front deck / livewell area. Great way to open up floor space!

If visibility is your main concern I would put the console just far enough forward to have a good view of the water in front of you. You need to decide if you will run a seat, no seat or a leaning post. I set mine up so that I have a tall bench seat but still need to stand in order to see...

Great start, never seen that hull before. Will be following!

Cool hull! Really like the lines pressed into the sides and the cool fore deck. Should be real sweet with some paint and that merc 20!

Very nice, love the way the 50's tin boats are put together. Great lines!
