Phill,

Painting waterline on 16ft '59

Any tips, references or photos of waterline on a lapstrake 16ft? Photos on trailer maybe?

I have the remnants of line on boat, so I can locate ok. Seems a bit tricky to cross over laps. Is the line painted across the edge of the lap?

Thanks,
David

Seeking Airguide stern unit photo

Seeking photo or document on stern/pitot unit of 1959 Airguide speedometer. Need to replace broken 1/8" sense tube and polish up unit.

Thanks,
David
