[QUOTE="johnmadill, post: 455561, member: 23818"] This is a 1961 Alumacraft 12' row boat I bought last month. That old drain plug has been rolling around in the back of the boat for decades. I was wondering where I could find a spare. Went to the local boat shop that usually has EVERYTHING! found a metal drain and plug combo. This old one would screw into that drain so I bought the plug and brought it home but it would not fit, to my surprise. threads were finer, but again, this old plug fit that new drain. Also tried a half-inch rubber plug that was too big. Any ideas? And here are before and after pics. I really didn't want to paint the boat but since someone already had many many years ago and since I hated the color, I decided to paint. It is a "good from far, but far from good" paint job but is an improvement. Paid $300 for the boat, trailer and oars and sold the trailer and oars for $130 since I had a better trailer and new oars.
