    1960 Mirrocraft project. Don't know where to start??

    1960 Mirrocraft project. Don't know where to start??

    1960 Mirrocraft project. Don't know where to start??

    HELP! I am 23 years old and just bought my first boat. It's a 1960 16' Mirrocraft runabout with the original 1960 Evinrude Sarflight 50hp. That trailer needs a lot of work, but that's another project. The windshield is old... very old... plexiglass and I am gonna try and polish it with a...
