Well, my steering wheel came in yesterday and I will begin the install of my cable tonight. I don't want to screw this up so any hints, tips, advice would be much appreciated. I already have the steering mounted in the dash- I just have to run the cable. I'm not going to be mounting to the...
I figured I'd start a new post just on this just to make sure I am using the correct product for my application. I have my thread going "1962 Arkansas Traveler restoration" but I didn't get much of a response on there- I understand not everyone is into, or has the time to read everybody's entire...
I have been doing my entire hull with polyester resin up to this point.

My question is when I get to installing my deck is should I use epoxy for my fiberglass that I put on the top of the deck and underside that you will never see. Or just...
OK- To begin I am a newbie to boats and a big time newbie to motors. I really don't have a clue about motors other than I know what the carb is and what the spark plugs are- that's about it. I got a 1962 Arkansas Traveler from my neighbor that I am currently in the process of restoring- her is...
Well I finally got the boat two weeks ago and started to pull the deck apart to find that the stringers are rotted and the transom is rotted as well. A majority of my time though these last two weeks has been on my 40X20 uninsulated garage. It was a reck before but now it is more up to par. I...
The boat I plan on buying- 1961 fiberglass Arkansas Traveler 15' Skijack has a spot (4" in diameter) on the bottom of the boat about 2 feet in from the transom on the flat part of the boat that has small spider veins in the paint. As a result, when I push on it, it feels a little soft compared...
Again, new to this forum and to boats. I have already learned a ton about the 61 Arkansas traveler I plan on purchasing from my neighbor from you guys on this site.
My next question is what type of steering do I have?
Is it good?
Should it be replace when I start restoring the boat?
If it...
Just wandering if anyone can give me any information on this engine.
I am new to boats and am going to be purchasing this boat.
I know it is not the original motor but I was wondering if anyone knows anything about it like year, hp, etc...
Also, what should I be looking for when I take it...

Hello. I am new here and I am new to boating as well. I have never owned a boat but my neighbor recently bought a jetski and is going to be getting rid of his old 1960's Fiberglass Lone Star. He is the second owner of the boat and he has owned it since 1980 and stored it at Lake Wallenpaupack in...
