1966 Stevens O/B... is it worth it?

[expunkermikey]

Hi all - - Newbie here...
Picked up a 1966 Stevens O/B, 16 or 17'. Good papers, motor, hull and transome.
All I want is the 88hp 'Rude that's hangin on the back.
My question is, do I send this one to the shreader or hang on to it untill I can find her a home? I have a sneaking suspiscion that this boat mfgr may be a keeper for someone into these hull styles...
The other thing is, I am up to my arm pits in classic Glastron Tri-hulls and a '71 Carlson CV-16... I just don't have the room!
I've already chewed up a 71 Tahiti I/O, but those are a dime a dozen...
I need direction before I oblterate this really cool boat.

Hi Rolf,
Sacramento Ca.
This vessel impressed the crap outta' me. The only flooring to speak of is what is supporting the seats. That's shot. The only other wood is the keel.
As far as the transom goes, it's solid. the gel coat on the side is messed up 'cause the trailer has no padding on the fenders. The bottom looks real good too. The center skeg is not beat up.
Let me figger out the message system here or email me. Should be in the profile or --- majsberg1 at yahoo...
I'll shoot you some detailed pics. BTW, the papers are in order as well.
