Some old pics of my brother during the Plug building years . The 1st plug was made out of cedar and kept moving from drying out so Dave pulled a fiberglass mold off from it when he got it as good as he could.

He than built a fiberglass plug out of that mold and that plug got the strakes built and the plug perfected before pulling the final production mold.

1pic is the original wood plug the other 2 are of the fiberglass plug.

I'll have to take some more pics if it. Overall, for being 42 yrs old....it's in good shape. It has a red eagle trailer. Long covered bunks. Fits good. The lower transom looks like it was painted white. There was over spray all over the prop. I cleaned it and gained 3 mph. Lol. 2-stepped the teak platform and side steps. Still need to oil them. Has some bow rash from beaching. I can spray gelcoat so... No big deal. Bottom is good. The topsides has a crack about 5 inches long but not a big deal. Cosmetic. Not structural. The outdrive paint is super thick. Hard to remove by stripper or other. Grinding sounds easier.

My brother had told me it had been redone when saw it back in the late 90s.

Yours still has the original Merc shifter. Your was the only one built with that shifter all the other had the Morse shifter.
