I did it once,,the stuff is heavy,,,gotta big gap to mud,,well,,,I'm lost there especially to do corners,,and make it all sand down to look even...Stipes would never be a carpenter.....I just dont have the patience for that....

Thanks. Mine seems to be a light boat. Its 17' and its got a 1984 Johnson 115hp on it. Moves it along pretty good.
Your's look like to be the Johnson Deluxe Runabout ,,made from 1962 to 1969.The full wrap windshield....The first models had this cut out in the middle in front of the bow..Yours is a very,,very nice example of now days that people dont see of what OMC put into their design so many years ago...
I take that back..Evinrude sweet 16......I kept lookin at the hul line......Yours gotta be a Evinrude hull....
I could be totally wrong about this but that looks a lot like one of the small boats in the James Bond movie Thunderball. I'll have to see if there is some info on that online.
Mr. HE
It is a bit more modern. Has a 150 merc on the back. Not a race boat but they are for fishing not racing anyhow.It will run low 60s
That's still pretty quick. I'm hoping to get 50mph outa mine.
I think the one your thinking of is a Glastron CV model. That's what Bond used.

A 1965-66 sports Evinrude outboard used in that film...
I can get 40mph outta mine ,,and thats good for she's heavy....Funny thing about these boats,,and you tell me if I'm wrong,,you can turn em on a dime....I dont think you can flip one unless it's modded.....I did some insane turns with mine and it hugs the water....
Evinrude had a classic design that noone ever copyied,,noone ever will...
I GPS'd my 14' flat bottom john boat at 19kts with a 20hp johnson. Sold that boat. Just didn't use it enough.

Dad bought it in 1964....I bet I could prime her up and she would fire right up....For a fishing boat just to go out after a days work,,dont have to laod alot of crap in,,just to go go home,,,trow your rod and reel in,,head down to the river,,,lake,,and just to relax for a few hours fishing,,,aint nothing like it....I sold his boat,,was a sears 16 ft. alum v hull,,,but kept the motor....I always regret it nows...
