Hey everyone im new to the site and just became a first time boat owner. I just bought a 1648 semi-v that i know very little about and was hoping to get some info, before starting my build.
all i know about the boat is that it is a 1648 semi v, with four factory benches, and riveted. it is marked with the words Sports Kraft on the rear support at the transom. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the name Sports Kraft? NOTE the K in kraft not sports craft.
I got this boat dirt cheap and it will need some work to get it where i want it ( i plan on posting pics before i get started ). it has a small front casting deck which i plan to remove and about 50 years of paint that i need to sand/wire brush off before getting started.
I will be able to handle most of the carpentry work myself (i think). Im going to stay pretty simple with basically just a floor, some swivel seats(mounted to the bench's with a short base), and maybe a storage hatch in the very front. The part i will prob have some questions about is wiring, again im not going to get too elaborate just some running lights, nav lights, a trolling motor, and some led rope lights under the gunwales.
Thanks for any/all advice.
