Title: 19-1
Post by: Menner on July 11, 2011, 09:03:21 AM: Hello been a while since I have posted anything but I have been lurking around absorbing the wisdom of the people that use this web site I am still fishing my 19-1 while I do little things to make her better just picked up a T-Top couple of weeks ago and got a new canvass for it Sunbrella has a new color out called Aruba I think it looks Aquasport I will post a few pics if I can remember how plus a few pics of kids from a recent fishing trip to the Chesapeake Bay

And where is your fuel tank mounted, below deck or in the console?

I'm still in the re-construction phase with mine, a 1971 model with the console mounted up against the casting deck from the factory, just curious how it's gonna ride like that.
