Re: Tell us how old is your boat?

1978 Sylvan Sea Master with a 1977 Merc 500 outboard, recently revived after 13 years of neglect and ruination. I gutted and rebuilt the boat, new floor, new carpet, new transom, new dash wood, new platform wood, new vinyl for dash and storage, new power center, new wiring, new pumps, new steering cable, new trolling motor, new cover, new seats, new plumbing. new paint inside the hull, new trailer lights, new trailer wheels, new galvanized rims, new trailer paint, new rollers, new tie downs, new water pump, replaced the lower unit, and I have been thru the motor except for the block. No, I did not paint the outside of the hull, I plan to use it and that takes the pressure off..LOL Yes it sounds like a lot of work, but I was given the boat/motor/trailer for free with the stipulation that I rebuild it, it has been a learning experience for sure!

1952 Lonestar 14' semi-V. Bought it with trailer for $55.00. She was in rough shape and we put a lot of sweat equity into her. She looks good now. Will post pics soon.
