I re-found this site and this section recently.
This is a very dangerous site, way too many beautifully restored boats that make it contagious to want to buy and work old boats.
Nice work to all you guys that have finished a project and put an old boat back on the water.
I wish I had found this site 25 years ago, as we have had a SS 16 for many years, and back then I did a rebuild of the interior and used 3/4 treated for the floor.
Not sure how this will end up, put it's been a long time so far.
Anyway, I do have a question - has anybody made a list of S/N's and year built to help with determining the age of a given boat?
After spending some time in the SC brochures, I believe ours is something from 1968 to 1970. Not sure about the 68 as the brochures don't shown a SS 16.
Oh, our S/N is 959321, and is the typical olive green of the time.
Oh, another oddity, ours has a 18 ft rating plate in a 16 ft boat. Don't know if it's from the factory like that or if someone put it in hoping to be legal with a larger motor. FWIW our transom is bowed out, so it could very well have had a larger motor on at one time.

ps, I was lead here by a members c-list ad for a 18 ft Holiday project for sale, and I'm really fighting to resist that boat.
