1965(?) Sea Fire by Winner

[RusticManor]

Hi folks,

I'm new here. Got myself what I think is a 1965 Sea Fire by Winner. It's in a bunch of pieces and the sides of the boat both have cracks from the lip down to the bottom. So, I have a couple/few questions:

1. With both sides being cracked, it this boat salvageable? Would I need to reinfoce each side with wood paneling encased by fiberglass or something similare to ensure hull integrity?

2. Are there any good websites with pictures of these old boats?

Does it look anything like the boat at the bottom of the page? http://forums.iboats.com/showthread.php?t=332886&page=2
sans fins perhaps?

This is a great website: http://www.fiberglassics.com/library/Winner

is it salvageable?

I replaced the transom, new motor, updated controls and dash/gauges, new floor...am still building interior and found out this summer that the glass on the deck is cracking.

If I could do it all over I think I'd start with a newer hull....but hey, ask me again tomorrow.
