What model Larson do i have?

[bull island dave]

This has been my winter project. According to the registration it is a 1970, 16 foot Larson. Can anyone tell me the model? This is my first attempt at posting a picture, so I hope it works.

<br />Let me fix this for you.

Bull Island Dave,<br />I had the exact same boat (for some reason I thought it was a '69 but I found out later it was a '70). I loved that boat but a tree fell on it so its gone. Your hull looks to be in great shape. Do you have the 18 gallon gas tank up front?<br /><br />I had a roller trailer (ezloader) and it was super easy to launch and retrieve. I see you have carpeted bunks which usually means floating the boat on and off. Is that what you do?<br /><br />If you want you side rub rails to be pristine white just use some rubbing compound like you use on the paint of your car or clorox soft scrub.

I do have the 18 gallon tank, but that big Merc uses that pretty quick. I usually carry a spare 6 gallon portable along just in case.<br /><br />I put some liquid rollers on the carpeted bunks and it loads pretty easy. The trailer is not in good shape, but the boat ramp is only 1 mile away so it will have to do for now.<br /><br />Thanks for the suggestion on cleaning up the side rails. I will give it a try tomorrow. This has been my first boat since I was a kid with a 12 foot Sears Gamefisher. I moved away from here for about 20 years with the Air Force, and am now retired trying to relive my childhood.<br /><br />Dave

If the clorox or soft scrub doesn't work, Get some Goof-Off from Home Depot (paint department), that stuff work great on plastic/rubber.

Reel, are you sure that Goof Off is safe on the white vinyl? I did a google search on it and found warnings the solvent damages vinyl. There were also misc. posts complaining of problems it caused after use on vinyl type products (stains, dullness, etc.).<br /><br />I guess there are many different kinds of Goof Off now (for different applications). Maybe water based Goof Off 2 is safe?

I use it on my bump rails. But would not use it on seat vinyl.
