There is another web site called Scream and Fly.com

They have a section for those kind of boats....all your questions re the boat would be ansewered there. Good luck with the boat, they were good boats.

You might learn a little bit more about it at the site known as "Riverdaves".
Post some pictures here though. I know I'm not the only one here that likes the old flatties.

there was a guy that wrote the V-drive column for Hot Boat magazine a while back who is an expert in these things. cant recall his name but if you can find a copy from years back he is probably in it. he owns a shop in central California I think. I currently have a 1970 Wesco flatbottom V-drive but it is lacking an engine right now. May end up listing it for sale somewhere as the lake around here gets pretty rough and I need something I cant sink if I stop too close to a passing big boat. good luck they are fun.
