Re: 13-footer Seating Placement
Or, do you just need the fore-and-aft location of the various assembled components? And, if this is the case, perhaps you only need two measurements: the distance from the transom to the helm seat, and the distance from the transom to the console. These might be easily obtained from someone who has...

Re: Rub Rail Installation: Seven Questions
RUB RAIL UPDATE - I ended up getting some screws from Sue L at Beacon. Self tapping, Stainless, and with some sort of orange epoxy already on them. I used at least 4 clamps and started on the port side. My 15 year old son learned some new words, but in the end, we got it installed. Started out predr...

1977 13 Whaler Super Sport Seating
Getting down to the final stages. Ended up ordering a 14Gallon Moeller gas tank to place under the front bench seat. Did this based on the 40hp 4 stroke going on the stern and all the comments about weight placement Now comes the seat installation. Some say to move the seats forward. Others say ther...

Re: Rub Rail Installation: Seven Questions
First failure: I started to install the rub rail. I drilled the first 13/64-inch-diameter hole (seen at far right below), and I used 3/16 x 5/8-inch rivets. The boat hull is pristine and all original holes have been filled in. 133865389_10224033409972065_4114900288626274237_n.jpg I got to the second...

Re: Best Varnish
That makes logical sense. Reading the advertised label says its formulated for varnish too? I'll probably avoid it this time and If I ever have to redo my woodwork, may try it

13-footer Seating Placement
I'm sure this is out there, but my search [results] are coming up short.
Is there a diagram showing the original placement and measurements of the seats [on a 13-footer][?].

Re: Best Varnish
Thanks for the responses.
Has anyone used the Petit EZ-Poxy Performance Enhancer 3021 in their varnish process? Claims of the varnish being harder and glossier intrigue me.

13-footer Rough Hull
Greetings. I recently acquired a 1977 13-footer and a trailer. I got the hull only— nothing else, no seats, no steering wheel, no engine, no rails. It needs some TLC which it will get. I have three sons ages 15, 13, and 11. The older two are into angling. I'll need help. I'll rely on your knowledge ...
