there may have been a small collision
(broken windshield, bent steering wheel)
I'm removing the screw filler and replacing.
I don't think I can remove any of the older screws
but will reinforce with new in the spaces between
originals.
Like a British bike, the boat as found, has little
real value.
Not being a brand name, Duke, Minett etc.
it will never be worth much but as with all
of this "stuff" the value is in the satisfaction
of accomplishment.
Also, if I don't have a "project" I can get a bit
"squirrely"...
Like you I need a project, I also like to see further projects so I don't run out!!
The boat when finished with that lovely decking Lacquered the upholstery done and the refurbish Mercury 1965 engine everyone will want a ride in it!!!!
