    Need help

    Apparently, he did not. That long round rod is part of the depth sounder transducer. There should be a cable coming out of the rod which runs or used to run to the depth sounder display head. If the cable has been cut off, then leave the transducer alone until you decide to replace the whole...

    Uniflite hin

    Uniflite's HIN, if there is one as early ones did not, do not generally indicate a "model". More often than not, there were only one or two models from any hull mold. However, the photo appears to be a hull from the late 1960s. The configuration was simply called a "cruiser" and they made...
