1959 Outboard Boating Club Standards.

[tgp***]

I'd thought I'd post this in the Starcraft forum. I think I posted this once a long time ago in the restoration forum. I thought it would be a good post here for my Starcraft friends. I think this is a new link because my old link would no longer work.

It has a lot information for boat building and would have come in handy when I was rebuilding my little boat
- You can download a PDF version from the link. The link is wierd sometimes you need to go in via just "boatsinthebelfry.com" then go to archives to find the PDF.

Enjoy.
