Have just purchased same boat 57 26' sea skiff with fly bridge. My uncles boat from moosehead lake ME.

sleeps four.. I am often on CT river as I live in Wethersfield and keep a catboat in Mystic as well. Plan on mooring in the cove at Wethersfield and join the Wethersfield yacht club (1908)

boat needs some cosmetic work as well as canvas and is basically very sound.

Neill.

yours is an older message, still motoring?

Hi Steve,
Boat currently in Old Wethersfield CT.
We (with partners) are in process of restoration.
Stem to Stern , top down.
Try to get one full day each week and have removed all metal parts, toe rails, quarter rounds, some top deck(cabin top) wood replacement and are almost ready to install Dynel surfacing.(thought about canvas, but after last Sunday at wooden boat show in Mystic we decided on the Dynel material.

Will replace cockpit sole with new plywood as original, and while deck is up will attack the engine, through hull fittings, update old head with pump out tank , new stainless water tank and any wiring which will be needed.

boat is currently 6volt and have to decide if we want to undertake a 12volt
conversion.
A lot left to do but we are ambitious as we would like to finish before end of summer! Everything always takes twice the time as expected.
Perhaps you can take a view of it sometime.
You can e-mail me at lnwalsh@cox.net
Neill
