Well I have what I thought was a SeaNymph but while applying for the title today through Texas Parks and Wildlife, they ran the number and it came back as a 1464, year 1958 Lonestar. Soooo Now that I know that, I'm working on rebuilding the boat. The seats and the mounts were completly done for. I put in new side supports and currently rebuilding the seat supports (sorry for the mess) Now I'm on to the gunwales next once I fix the inside supports. Some people have told me the old AT's had wood gunwales, I bought some new wood to replace it. I was reading on another post here and saw some people talking about needing tube stock or aluminum gunwales for strength. I will be replacing all inner supports and beefing up the transom to mount a 20hp on it, also will be putting in decks. So will my wood gunwales be strong enough to handle this? it will be sandwhiched between 2 pieces of this wood.

I will also start a new build thread once I figure out what I'm doing with the gunwales.
