In addition to just the enjoyment of looking at such a nice restoration, Bruce's work provides two very interesting solutions to common problems:
--mounting the original Navigation Light/Bow Chock fitting when using the newer style rub railing replacement kit;
--mounting modern engines whose bolt hole pattern does not fit well on the older transom and motor well.

When I looked at these pictures, I thought I had finally found my old 1971 Nauset, which is shown in the reference section. I sold it in 1988. The reason why is that I also made, in 1972, a solid teak forward platform, and have never seen one since. My old Nauset was heard to be around Grand Rapids MI, but the owner has evidently not shown up here yet.
Anyway, it's a beautiful restoration job, and I do love the teak platform. Congratulations. Right choice of engine, also!!!!
The non-matching color of the 1/2" plywood console front did catch my eye, however, as being unusual. Also the instrument panels.

Wow!, nice work. Also great photos. They really lit up on my 19" CRT. Great job Bruce. I guess I will have to do more than just replace my rub rail...
Spectacular boat!

A boat that pretty I would be afraid to use!

Funny, I was looking at the forward piece of wood on the console and thought it was strange that it didn't match the rest. I attributed it to lighting in the photo. Is that not the case? The forward piece almost looks like pine.
The boat and everything else looks first class. I love the bow chock. That brand new Merc looks great as well.
Bruce, you truly own a classic.

Fabulous boat! And it's right here in town. That photo of the boat running looks like it was taken at Kenmore?
The mahogany on the front of the console caught my eye too. It could just be the lighting but it could be the wood too. No two pieces are the same and I spend a lot of time examining each piece before deciding what goes with what.
lhg, That's HONDURAN mahogany, not PHILIPPINE!

Very beautiful boat and woodwork. Every time It get into a boat with wood it takes me back to the time when me and my dad went out in his 1956 16' Lyman. Something about the smell of wood and varnish in a boat that just seems right.

great boat!
i have a question about the rubrail. it seems that all three pieces of the rubrail that is going onto my restoration are black? is the rubrail on the nauset restoration white? may look desert tan in the pics? i also would like to know how the wood is finished. the front deck is out of sight!

Beautiful specimen!She rides gracefully with that 50.Flipper would do back flips for a white underbelly like that one!

I have a similar rubrail on my Sakonnet.I trimmed away about an inch of the black rubrail to match bottom front of bow chock and then mounted it flat on deck.. congrat's on fine looking restoration!!

The effort that you put into your Whaler looks great. Enjoy every minute and every compliment, you've earned them both. The detailing distinguish's a nice boat from a great boat. You've got a great boat!

As Bruce the boatowner, I missed the forum comments section until tonight.
To answer the questions.
The front plywood is slightly lighter but the picture makes it look worse. Often, a stain is used to make sure all the wood matches but I did not elect to go there.
The rub rail is the three piece off the Montauk, the top which is off white. The rub part is a hard rubber/plastic which is black. Look at the picture of the bow light to get a look at the color.
The cost of the seat and console, finished with Zspar captains varnish including shipping was about $2200.
I bought the glass locally.
I plan to use the boat, in fact I let my 13 year old son drive it. He knows how special it is and he has responded by being quite an adult around it. I think he wants it after I am dead...
Thanks again for all the kind comments, I hope your projects give you as much joy as mine did.

One more question I did answer. The picture was not taken on Lake Washington at Kenmore, even though I can see it from my window. The picture is in Holmes Harbor off Whidbey Island. However, the maiden voyage of the boat was in Lake Washington.

Bruce: You have given me the inspiration and direction on where I am going with my 68 Nauset.
Thanks for sharing your boat with us.

Hi to everybody,

excuse for my English but my language is Italian and Spanish!
I have seen this boat, and it is fantastic.
I have this boat with the center control cabinety more before and a base to catch the sun, all in mahogany, behind.
The motor is an Evinrude 120 horses, however is broken and I don't intend to change it!
The motive?:
When I lived in Milan the boat was sailed on the "Maggiore lake" and it went very well, now I live in Ibiza (Balearic Islands - Spain) and the sea it is not appropriate for this type of boat. It is for this that I don't want buy a new motor.
Rather, my intention is to sell it!
Which is its price, and could it interest to someone?
The boat is of 1968.
Regards
