[QUOTE="reedjj, post: 224411, member: 4585"] I would love to have one of those old runabouts. I say buy it and restore it. I would beef up the transom and slap a 115hp honda four on it with New School controls. Power tilt trim. Keep the speedo, restore it, but make it into a tach with a white face. That boat would be too cool! I have my eye out for an old featherCraft, LoneStar, Alumacraft, etc. Depending on the year I would like to do one in the theme of a 57 Chevy (red) or a Chevelle SS (blue with white stripes on the hood/bow) Or maybe just polish the entire hull to a mirror finish. I love the silver honda motor on a bare alum boat! If you did yours in white I would of course go with an OMC or a new E-tech! I would give you $250 for the hull..LOL! [/QUOTE]
