Did you find any adhesive holding the lapstrake together or was it all gone? Mine still had spots of adhesive beween the lapstrakes, althought 60/90 percent had failed. I used a hack sawblade, to remove the few spots of adhesive still holding. You will find it is hard to loose shape of the hull and ...

1. Boat was set on cinder blocks and carefully levaled. Started very slowly, and became more confident as time passed. All but the inner keel was reused, so when reassembling the new screws were put back in the old holes, making it difficult to lose shape. 2. I did not remove top lapstrake as I did ...

Scarfing
I thought I saw a scarf joint in the plywood lapstrake on my 1960 Cruisers 16' 202. Did Cruiser's use scrafted plywood or was it full length without scrafted joints. If it was scarfed from the plywood supplier, what was the angle of the scraf 8 to 1 or 12 to 1? If anyone has afactory piece of scraft...

It's weight is about 202 pounds listed for a 1975 Johnson 70hp, the 75 listest is the high performance model. What performance do you see, how about the old engine it replaced an...

Jim I read somewhere about placing your wood boat on blocks in a garage and jacking against the ceiling to deform it back into shape, my beam idea does the same without jacking against the ceiling. My proposed beam has curved so the bottom can be deformed into a hook, and with spring back would be s...

From the catalogs found at www.old-omc.de the weight of a 1960 Johnson long shaft is 220# and the 40 electric is 141# Weight is still in reason for any of the engines you are considering, The weights for the Merc 4 strokes include gas lift and power trim for the 50 hp. Probably not much difference i...

I do own a 1960 Cruisers Inc 202. I own both a 1960 Evinrude 75 and 40 hp. The 40 has never not been able to get on plane, a very good match for the hull. I get 25 to 28 miles per 6 gal tank with the 40 and 11 to 18 with the 75. I run my 1960 Evinrude 40 on my 16' jon boat also, it pushes it 35 mph ...
