larson playmate restoration

[jimmy spy.]

Ello! Im new to this site (lik 10 min. ago) and im looking for any information i can find on my boat. It is a 1963 (i thnk) Larson playmate (im pretty sure) 143. The guy i got it from tore out the interior, the floor, and tore the motor apart and thts how my dad and i got her (for 200 bucks!). So now im lookin for info on the boat, wht the interior looked liked originally, and any tips/tricks for replacing the transom, floor, and stringers (all of which are rotton). Any and all info will be apreciated, as this is the fist full restoration my dad and i have undertaken

Jimmy, welcome to iboats. You should be able to go to Larson's web site and click on the archive tab to get info on your boat. I think the archives go back to the mid 50's.

Good luck on your project.
