i have begun to restore a 1969 larson lapline which is in good shape. just need to replace a few odds and ends and make it look like it did when new. if anyone knows where to find parts for it please help. i also am restoring the motor which is a 1967 merc 500. i have found a site for this www.oldmercs.com and was wondering if there was a larson site of the same type. here are some pics of a few weeks ago. have gotten it cleaned up since then. please take a look and please feel free to comment. i am open to any suggestions. thank you

I'd be happy if it floats and the engine runs, looks fine to me.

Those tiny trailer wheels.... when you drive 60mph, be aware the trailer wheels are probably doing 100mph. Keep an eye on the bearings.:D

My buddy has a 28' Larson, terrible construction and fit out, they built them with house wiring. But he's going through it.

Larson boats has an owners website, google it.

thank you for your input. i agree the wheels on the trailer , acually the hubs and bearings were in bad shape. that was maybe the worst part of the whole deal. so i replaced one hub and bearings and am gonna replace the other. i am gonna check into the larson site. i could only find the larson dealers website so far.

is this some kind of joke. i clicked on the classic larson link and it asks me to save some type of .asp file. maybe i am doing something wrong. if there is a link to classic larson boats that may be just what i am looking for. please look into the link posted and see if it is working for you.
