Re: Water in Hull Via Drain Tube
I am worried that the hull might contain water as the drain tube is loose. Is the drain hole [double] sealed, as in [is it] coated or sealed beyond the tube[?]

Water In Hull via Drain Tube
After reading about Boston Whaler hull containing water I got worried. The boat [I] am restoring has a loose drain tube and contains some water.
Is there a secondary seal behind the drain tub? As like a coating off some sort?

Re: 1978 Classic 15-footer Repair
I don't know of any other classic rod holders made off wood. If I [were] to use them, i would have had them made to the boat. To get the finishing product to resemble a Boston Whaler product I could have use of these drawings.

Re: 1978 Classic 15-footer Repair
Thx Jimh. I will keep the wheel, but a new hydraulic helm at 30-degrees, preferable chrome, would be fine; but black will work just as fine. The tilting helms out there costs a lot. A fixed-30-degree would work just fine. Let me know if you know about any manufacturers. For the record I am a Norwegi...

Re: 1978 Classic 15-footer Repair
After reading the forum i noticed that GRANT made a six-spoke steering wheel in c.1978. What is funny is that [my boat steering wheel has] only five spokes which lets me think that the boat was sold with incorrect info. What do you think?

Re: 1978 Classic 15-footer Repair
Thx boys,
Its an 40 hp Evinrude 2008, and I am using a 40 liter fuel tank. The cost of fuel is 2 USD pr liter where i live. A more economical engine would be a nice upgrade. Anyway, what size of prop did you use on your merc.

Re: 1978 Classic 15-footer Repair
The old wood was not much to look at, so I have striped the boat clean and then sanded the wood. I need to aply some stain and varnish.
Theres a few more detailes that i will look into, some safety, lights, vhf, and chrome details.
There has been only one owner before me.

1978 Classic 15-footer Repair
Hi. I am new to the forum and would like to share pictures and information on ongoing work that is being done.
Starting off with some pictures taken Oct. 2016, just before i bought the classic. I will use the boat bringing the kids out in the fjord, as well as for fly fishing after bass and seatrout.
