Mike do you think this was factory? It looks like metal work and badge is

If you look at the third picture on top of the gunnel behind the steering deck you can see a patch where the original oar lock went. Oar locks were moved to the forward seat. If it was factory it was an afterthought but it was a good job. I don't think the steering wheel emblem (painted) was factory.

Also at the meet was a '56 Vagabond. The forward deck was two piece. I don't recall seeing that before. It also had an interesting decal on the bulkhead. Sorry I could not get a good picture but it says "Safety Equipped" "Styrofoam" It was covered with a piece of plexiglass.

 










That is a normal deck for a 56 Vagabond.

At the AOMCI Florida Chapter meet on the Suwannee River was an interesting '54 Topper with a mid deck.

That's great news, and an exciting feeling when you take the boat out for the first time and she gets you back to the dock. DR all the way!!

Met Chip up at the lake for some more sea trials with the Gale 40hp.  Ran good after a bit of needle fiddling. We were on the water putting about for around 3 hours.  Need to get the original lower unit back on with its proper prop, deal with some rattles, and adjust the throttle as it keeps sliding back off WOT.  All in all a good day and the DR is back baby.
