Hi all. Long time reader, first time posting...
I recently bought a 16' Smoker craft off CL model #72169F. I think this makes it a 1972? Not sure about the rest of the # so if anyone can fill in the blank I'd appreciate it. Over all it is in great condition. But like all older boats the transom is trash. I worked on it most of the day today and managed to get the old wood out. All but a couple of the bolts were rusted to the point they snapped with the slightest pressure. Had to rig a hoist to pull the rotted transom out. It snapped in two halfway out. I'll upload some pics as soon as I can transfer them.
UPDATE: After many, many searches on Google, I finally determined that this is a 1972 Smoker Craft Vega Tri Hull.
