Very cool. It looks like the perfect starting point for a project. These are the kind of boats I dream of owning and taking out on my own on a Saturday morning with a thermos of coffee. Wishing you the best of luck!

I think you found a gem of a project there, I like the boat and I like your work area and helpers even more! So much fun to have the kids involved in projects like that.

Good luck with the assembly!

Chuck,
Looks like a great project. Keep the updates coming.

The position of the axle isn't important. Check your trailer tongue weight. 10% + of the trailer gross is good.

It's taking me back to the "ram air" era

Hopefully the PO did NOT install an air cleaner. If so, get a spark arrestor on it before you run the boat.

The lag/stud seems like a good idea, not sure why they aren't used more often. Maybe a clearance problem for the end of the stud once the mounts are tightened down? Not sure.
