    Greg: I cheat, I use Rustoleum spray cans. They have a large variety of colors, it levels nicely and dries to a bright, glossy finish. Bob

    jbkiwi: Probably not, my boat was built by Schock W.D. Associations in California sometime between 1969 and 1976 and was designed by a guy named Seymour Paul. Bob

    Interesting, reminds me of the 1940s radio newscasts, the cinema newsreels, the strident voiceover, etc.

    I clamp my cylinder motors in place so: 1) make a center drilled actual size dummy motor and put the clamp on it. 2) install a long music wire for the prop shaft thru the dummy motor and temp alignment bulkheads on either side of where the motor goes. 3) Glue/screw/fix the motor clamp to the hull. 4) remove the music wire, the dummy motor and temp alignment bulkheads. 5) install the real motor in the clamp, slide your prop shaft inπŸŽ‰

    Built about 10 years ago, it's mostly decoration now, hasn't been on the water in maybe 7-8 years.
