[QUOTE="Gjpslp, post: 439027, member: 22635"] Thanks for all the encouragement everyone. I do plan on a correct restoration and promise not to butcher it in any way. The boat is currently an original barn find so it is a good starting point. I found it interesting that the plywood seats were covered with a heavy vinyl coated fabric along with both dashes. I plan on doing the same. I did find the hid# , see picture, (Thanks Johnny) I think the boat is a 14' Admiral Deluxe and not the Clipper. It is a 1956. Glad the Newport green was original, I really liked the color. I was considering painting the deck and lower half of the hull green and polishing the natural aluminum sides to a gloss. It is amazing that the sides if this old boat are not scratched or dented. Stay tuned [/QUOTE]
