Recommended manuals?

I recently purchased a 1956 22' Skiff, partially restored (Burlington, VT). I'm looking for some good manuals, etc. to help me along. I'm a novice boat restorer but an experienced woodworker. What I really need is some pictures to show me what it should look like to start with. I'm awaiting a couple books I bought at Amazon, but I'm curious about what the experts have to say...

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

Lucas

[> I don't know of any recommended manuels Lucas, but you might try the Mariner's Museum in Virginia. They (for a small price) can give you the "hull" card & photos (if they have any) on your boat for a small fee. I know Faye & Alan have a 57 22 footer, maybe they can be of assistance. I would start with the Mariner's Museum, maybe email ACBS too.....there addy is www.acbs.org they might could help..... -- Jennifer, 00:14:52 10/30/02 Wed (dialup-209.246.189.132.Dial1.Atlanta1.Level3.net/209.246.189.132)

Lucas, >>
I know of no manuals for the restoration process, however in one of the past issues of Classic Boating there was a featured article on the restoration of a sea skiff that really is exceptional. It is a photo documented step by step of the process that the owner went thru. If you would like to know the issue number etc, I would be happy to provide it, also the email address of the people who did the restoration. Faye

Lucas - I did, ten years, ago what you want to do with your Sea Skiff. Contact me at e-maill address or (615) 373-2718.
All the best, Ken Jorgensen

If you are in Burlington,I am located across the Lake on Willsboro Bay. I have a totally restored 22 foot, 1956 Sea Skiff just hauled up from Orange County, New York. If you send me your e-mail address I will let you know of it's exact location so that you can see one in a refinished state if you like. She's a beauty with original engine, instruments and accessories.
