Hi. I have a 1962 Eastport, verified by the stencil number. I've completely restored the hull, but I need lots of help. As advised, I have been researching the site, of which I've been a member for quite awhile. Due to a computer crash, I've lost all of the information gathered so far. I'm not interested in people doing the work for me, just some help.

I have the side rails, but a Montauk console, with all accessories, hatches, cushions, rod holders, windshield, Shepard's hook, etc,. and a non-standard pilot seat. It's currently powered by a 70-HP Johnson.

I am restoring the Eastport and donating it for the children's cancer network, Moffatt, or St. Judes. I would like the vessel to be as original as possible. THIS IS FOR THE KIDS, TO GIVE ONE A CHANCE.

First, I need parts. Can someone provide a couple of the better parts houses? I have Specialty Marine and Twin Cities sites.

I would like an OEM console, pilot and rear seat, cushions, controls, gauges, stern light, stern drain tube. You get the drift.

Second, I need help with rigging information and placement. I'd hate to use the older console and non-OEM seat, but I need some advice. Naturally, I've spent way too much in time, materials and labor already, but this is very special to me. Anyone out there, care to help me with this one? Thanks. Nick.

Hi,

I was wondering if you have finished the restoration on your Eastport. I am in need of the measurements for the positioning of the 35" center console. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
