boats awaiting restoration

[Charlie Santi]

I have not been able to do much with my boats for about three years, but now that I am retired I plan to get at it again. http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid191/pc9d1eb9d57f0d6686f5f6a9d747ee59d/f1d197ed.jpg http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid191/pc23bbd0437d5c8c3b3d7b954d6e92a55/f1d197e9.jpg This is a '54 Penn Yan Comander I restored to original except for not painting below the splash rail. I also restored the '54 Evinrude 15hp and the gas tank.
Next are the many projects: http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid191/pe95a745b4a47d89a11142e288fee99bc/f1d198ba.jpg This is what I am working on now it is a '65 Penn Yan Explorer powered by a 140hp Mercrusier I/O. The boat was restored a few years ago and I was using it before i got sick and the it sat with no care. It now needs new paint, varnish and the outdrive rebuilt. I put a new stem in and will have replace the wood around the edge of the front deck.

Here is the start if you want to see moer I will keep adding to the post. I plan on being busy.

What did I do wrong that the photos are all small.

You posted the thumbnails. Edit the URL's to remove .thumb.jpg off the end.

Thanks I fixed it.

Good retirement projects, smile.gif but I must warn you retirement doesn't leave you as much time for good projects as you expect. :confused: all the other things on the todo list suddenly rear their ugly heads and demand attention. :mad: Voice of experience speaking. :rolleyes:

Charlie,

Good to see you're well enough to get back to projects.

Lots of interesting projects too.

Hey, do you still have those 16' Penn Yan canoes?
If I remember right, the S/N's were close to mine. Do any of them still show the decal?
The only thing left on mine is to cain the seats and the decal. I've got a replacement but it's not the same as the original. I haven't run across one good enough to have a duplicate made yet. (or has Dan Slutherland? as of a year or 2 ago)
