Hi all, I just purchased a new old boat to replace my rotted out fiberglass and wood craft. I purchased it from a guy who does boat scrapping and salvage work but sells the ones he collects that are in good shape. It is aluminum and water tight. No leaks at all. The seats are old wooden crap and already gone in the dumpster. I plan on mounting swivel folding seats on the seat pods and using the seat bases as storage wells.
My question is does anyone know anything about Springbok boats from the 60's or possible early 70's?
The seller told me it was a 73 but i doubt that.. The vessel lic tag for Canada registration says model# 1458 and beside that it says RD-63-126. I assume that is 1963 vintage. The boat came with Evinrude throttle controls, looking on the net the type was built 1960-63 so that fits.
I can find nothing on these boats so far searching the web.
