[QUOTE="Old Bill, post: 31966, member: 252"] My 1957 Richline has two braces to the bench seats. It doesn't have a data plate. I've been told that starting around 1964 all boats manifactured in the USA had to have data plates attached to the boat's transom. If this was my boat I would take it to a good welder and get an estimate on how much it would cost to have the transom/hull welded. To my sorrow, I learned a few years ago that sometimes a "free" boat can turn out to be a very expensive and time consuming project! :cry: I got caught up in the moment and spent a great deal of money "fixing up" an old boat...and when I was finished I still had a very ugly old boat that sold for about half what I had invested!
