So my wifes parents gave me a boat. I am a diesel technician but know nothing about boats or outboards! It is a 1961 glasstex speed queen. The interior was rotted out so i gutted the boat.. the title says 16 feet. What i am trying to ask is..what model this may be? and how much does it weigh, how much can it hold/max weight capacity. im trying to figure out a seating arrangement made of wood perhaps? i just dont want it to be so heavy to sink the boat. I added some images..and maybe some tips for a newer modern interior?

Look thru some of the brochure pix and maybe get an idea of what it looked like.
