Can we see a picture of this boat?

I’m not sure 🤔 of how to post a picture. Mine seem to be too large.

If you took the picture with a cell phone, I would suggest sending it to someone through Whatsapp and have them send it back to you. That has worked for me to reduce the amount of megabytes.

I have a 1954 Lyman 15 foot. I know how long it took to restore it, but man do they look good when done.

The OMC style coils have been used to replace the coils in the Chief. Glen Martin posted some pictures of his method for the coil that has plates. I’ve done the coil that has the rods.

A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.

The trailer also looks to be interesting. Model t rims and tires?

Good eye 👁️

It was. I left it behind. It’s not going to be a trailer queen and it didn’t make sense. I have a 1950’s Tee Nee trailer for it.

rjoynt.. give some consideration to how you intend to use the boat? How comfortable are you with the oldest motors? maintance , repairs, parts etc” AND how important is having a period correct rig to you?

Depending on how you answer and If your intended use is frequent family boat outings, club cruises etc… maybe a 1950’s vintage OMC would be the best choice.
