Back in March I picked up an old Chieftain. She is in pretty rough shape but I'm not going to restore it, just fix it up nice. I had asked advice about fixing holes on the decking and had some great responses, for that I thank you folks. I ended up getting a 4x10 sheet of 5052 aluminum, made templates and cut pieces to completely cover the transom cap and the gunnels up to where the cabin starts and riveted them on. There were just too many holes to try to repair.
I had asked Starcraft for some photos of the inside of the cabin and cockpit to get an idea of what it used to look like but they never got back to me. I have yet to find any original photos of what they looked like new so I'm just going to wing it.
