[QUOTE="Techstudent, post: 395682, member: 19993"] Thanks for the insight and suggestions guys. That '56' is beautiful! I like the lines, fins and curves of those early boats and it seems like a small aluminum boat is a good prospect for the novice restoration job. I know boats are usually money pits but, I suppose, if you don't have much invested there isn't a whole lot to lose if it does become a "pipe dream". Roughly $3,000 for a restoration and another $2,000 for a decent motor would put the project at about $5,000 give or take. Thanks again! :) [/QUOTE]
