I purchased 16' for my boat, but if I was to do it again I would scarf the sheets of ply myself.
I'm not positive but I think it was Boulter Plywood Corp.
funny thing one side was originally butt joined the other was scarfed...

Look aft for crosspiece.. between stringers

I have 1957 Hull#V-15-645
this is a link to some of the work done http://www.geocities.com/mallaney2002/

OK I have been looking for my next project.....
something like ccrafguy found, wonder how much it cost??? If you find you want to pass it on I am in SC

I use the "topsider" vacuum to suck the oil out through the dipstick. Neat no mess....

So if you are getting spark, timing is not 180 out..
Are you trying to start on 6V? I found that to start mine I used a 12V battery to power the starter to get that extra vvvvvvvvvvvv to start.
I also found that the float was out of adjustment and was too rich and made a hard start...

You could try quaker marine, I have purchased from them .... online http://quakermarine.com/index.php?main_ ... x&cPath=66

Why wait to be a boatwright?
You have to make another temporary repair now
Its not going to get any easier to fix
Your boat is on a trailer most of the time
A Danenberg bottom would give better service
I think its time for a new bottom now,
oh Boatlife has a "mahogany" colored caulk too, ...

It sounds like you have a coupling that uses rubber bushings, and you are trying to pull the shaft from the hub? I would see if the bushings can be removed, this should break the connection. I think you would then have room to use a gear puller to remove hub. Al the hammering shock is being absorbed...

I am thinking ... that the front vents should have tubes that extend to under floorboards and one rear should have tube the remaining rear vent is tubeless...

Or you can look at the generator a converted generator will have an extra field and the wire will be on generator, or there may be a resistor on coil. if it still has the 6V coil, Parts are hard to find but I think are worth the effort. Mr B, Jerry Biro and Scripps have B parts. Also if you have any...

I think a price for the Iron would depend on the location... shipping something that heavy is pricey.
I do the ebay search and check often for Model A engine parts ... but they are always too far away to pick up .......

Yes ..... productive... looking good!

Now that look$ like .... FUN!
Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Thanks Al the Cavalier was finished 2002. The canoe is ongoing, next project I would like to get a little bigger maybe a cruiser something that can be trailered to the ICW ...... but have 3 in college now and ............ Anyway here is the finished cavalier, the canoe is slathered in epoxy and is r...

I used ramen dowels 3/16" , drilled the old holes out with a 3/16" bradpoint bit with a depth stop, cut dowels to length on bandsaw rounded one end on sander, mixed small batch of epoxy stirred the dowels in epoxy and tapped in hole... the ramen is supposed to be a tropical wood like mahogany, the 3...

Well how bout that seems to be working now ....

I think this is where I started.....

do not see any url or anything just text.. and avitars I am using zonealarm, have set to allow popups, no change. Have not had any problems when visiting woodenboat board. Newer pc using IE v 6.0. set to block 3rd party cookies. Have noted that the html is off on my profile. I will try to log in on ...

I can not view pictures in posts , I do see the avitars though,,,,

Sounds like you need to put some packing material in her....

Checked for air leaks? Open air/fuel screw....
Nice boat by the way really nice! I would be willing to take her ..........

Be very carefull NOT to sand through the veneer....
Its easy to do especially near corners.
I would even say try the 120 grit first, especially if the finish is already thin.
(you can't unsand the wood)

I have had good success with giving the screwdriver a nice medium sized whack with a hammer,

Jim funny how many folks want the boat where it "shows" redone all nice but seem to neglect the "working" parts.... I'm guessing the engine was not fine.
Richard good luck let us know how yours turned out.

Just some more thoughts....
Could the radial bearing in trans be bad?
Packing still in stuffing box?
Cutlas bushing/bearing OK?
Prop shaft high or low ?

Bill
I do not see any pictures here... not mine Dons or yours...
But I do appreciate all that you have done and think we will continue to improve....

An INCH ? Yes you have something amiss for sure!
Misalignment is measured in thousands of an inch.
Either something is loose, bent or something!

I thought I uploaded a pic , but looking I dont see any pictures............
