Give me a call if you have any questions. Biggest problem I think that you will have is locating some real varnish. The stuff that is on your boat, most likely, is no longer legal. You will have to hunt up some old style spar varnish. I have used my last supply.</P><P>gordy</P><P>mo66</P><P>816-578-5850Tue, 05 Jan 2010 20:44:03 GMTgmcbridehttp://www.cscow.org/forum/Topic252-4-1.aspxawesome, thanks! i love that rounded cockpit.

A 1960 Stamn. It is in gorgeous condition with just cosmetic and light hull work. Anyone that has any experience with restoring one of these or any wooden boat that would like to offer free advise would be greatly appreciated. Maybe a "if I had to do it again, I would have started this first...". Or a "make sure you ... before anything else." I am sure some are thinking, "quite now before the wife leaves you..."</P><P>Once I pick it up next week I am going to take as many pictures as I can and fully document the condition, structure and lines...</P><P>Thanks,</P><P>RonFri, 18 Sep 2009 15:10:13 GMTboatdrinks4u2
