I have done some reading, and I think you are right. It's the same hull. They only changed the inner liner. I have not had a chance to measure mine yet, but will do so tomorrow.

I sent in a positive testimonial to Seacast Transom repairs. I got famous on Facebook...  ;)

I did do a little bit of sanding today. My right arm is still not recovered, but it feels good to do a little something on the boat.

I cleared 4 inches of wet snow from my boat tent after work today...
Swedish winter... At least I move forward with other bits and pieces on my project.
When I took my boat apart, the threaded rod connecting the bow eye with the Aquasport cleat was made from regular steel...
It was rusted to the point it was thin as a nail...
Now a new machined threaded Acid proof stainless steel rod is ready to be installed. :93:
AISI 316 for you guys.

The top cleat and the bow eye were not connected on my '71   :scratch:

It was on my boat... With a very rusty threaded rod...
I can post a picture once I have dry tested it on my boat. There is a special stainless steel part that
connects the cylindrical part with the bow eye back plate. Bad explanation. The picture will explain it a lot better.

Here is the assembly a bit more complete.
I hope I turned the bottom bracket the right way around.

Hello guys,

My hand and arm are doing better. Saturday I will be back at sanding again.
Because I'm from Sweden, I figured I would post some pictures of places I will visit with the Aquasport.
