> and what happened to it? My boat was owned by a real nice lady who bought
> it as a project boat also. It has all necessary external equipment except
> for the wire traveler. The entire cabin is missing except for the v berth
> and the electric panel and the concrete ballast. People on this chat have
> been remarkable sharing information about the stringer and the floor and
> some other interior details that I will rebuild the cabin from. She bought
> it 2 years ago from another lady who was going to restore it. It hung from
> a beam in a barn for a time? The 2 ladies never met a friend of the lady
> sold it to the previous owner so the history of previous owners is lost to
> me. I believe it is a 1974. Also the never ending adventures keeps me
> fired up and excited about completing the project. I live a large lake in
> Maine and I am about 30 miles from Portland Maine. So the coast of Maine
> and Sebago Lake can be explored and enjoyed from the boat next year.
