    Well finally started on it.Got it all gutted but the rudder and prop shaft will be doing that when we pull it off the trailer.It is off to a friend of mine for body work and prep for me to paint it.Befor Its painted gonna fix the bad spots in the floor and transome and maybe some stringers? What is an easy way to tell if you need stringers?The feel hard and see no delam in the stringers.The bolts were hard to get out of the stringers. Looks a little crunchy in the holes but no soft spots.The big washers where everything was mounted was pulling into the wood ,is that normal.Once the boat is off, gonna blast and redo the trailer.Any more picks of these boats?My boat still has the skag under it , what are these for?Do these boats have wood in the floor?The bad spot on the floor buy the rudder is that what you call delamnation?Whats a good way to fix?

    My brother had a sprint. That thing was really neat. Talk about a boat that turned on a dime. What bottom does it have? Their was two different bottoms on those sprint boats. Their is four ribs underneath. That run from front to back. When they reach the front they either stayed straight or turned into towards the middle of the boat. I purchased the boat from my brother and when I was building it I actually went and talked to James Brendell and he told me that the boats with the ribs that stayed straight were the better of the two boats. Just a little info for ya. Good luck on the build!!!!

    They were fair, but you need to take a ride in a "B" boat!...

    Man, judging by the steering wheel that must have been one fast boat back in the day.

    Looks like the guy wasn't afraid of beaching his boat... "Them rocks don't scare me!"
