Project Boat
I just bought a Silvercraft (75-80) runabout hull. I am trying to find information on this make and sources for parts. This is my first boat project, so any advice is appreciated.
Not quiet an offshore boat but I have been reading this forum for a while and you guys know alot of good chit.
Thanks, Paul

Right now I have a bare hull. Got it for next to nothing, just something to tinker with and have fun. It needs everthing - windshield, steering, seats, OB - total rigging. I have the motor controls, but not sure if they will work. I want to do the work myself to save money and learn.
Like I said, not an offshore boat, but thought someone might have ideas. Been checking out eBay and bidding on some parts. Would like to find a good local (East MI) small boat supplier - don't need billet cup holders!
Just need to get on the water...

Will get some pictures on when I can. I usually get home after dark - gotta love winter. I did find out that Silvercraft boats were made in Silverton OR from 1974-81. That is all they had on the USCG site. It is the only info I have found on this hull. Looks like it was rigged with Johnson controls. Will get those pics up soon.
