Andreas, Don't start counting your profits just too soon. In this limited hobby, there are probably 3-4 persons who would even know the difference and appreciate it!

Re: Depth finder
Why not hang it off the back of the transom? My father did it on his fiberglass boat and it worked fine.

Dan,
I didn't mean you treated me that way. I meant the results reminded me of a 1st grade reader. Really big print.

Well, that created a hell of a mess. It was like I was in 1st grade. See Dick run. See Jane go. And I saw HALF the boat!

Re: Switch for Bilge Pump
It's nice to have one that looks like it belongs there, but as Andreas always says, "these wooden boats shouldn't leak".JALL wrote:Is there a 3 position switch (Bilge Pump) that looks like it belongs on a 1957 wood boat? Thanks for any help

Re: Our first wood boat
Forget about cosmetics until the boat is sea worthy and safe and structurally sound. Repair or replace any rotten wood or cracked split wood in planking, ribs, keelson, stem, keel, stringers, transom, etc... A lapstrake boat like this should NOT leak. If it leaks, there is a PROBLEM. Get it fixed. ...

Only people with a true passion for something could understand what you went through. Now the ownership of that Thompson will have memories attached to it that will last forever!

Re: Windshield 1959 Sea Lancer
As long as the glass doesn't have a weatherstrip around it, assume that the frame was assembled around the glass. As Karl said, look for evidence of screws at the corners.
