Steve, that is freaking awesome. My good friend has a family place on Squam Lake in New Hampshire (where they filmed "On Golden Pond". ) There are soooooo many fine wooden boats up there. Yours is completely badass. Love it.

This is a modern wooden boat that I’ve lusted over.

As for a steering wheel... I have a beautiful MotoLita that would look good on it :)

After 4 months of sorting and getting to know the boat and engine (complete ignition and starter overhaul, steering linkage tightening etc etc) it had it’s maiden to me voyage. No issues and didn’t sink! Loud AF :cool: Now I can start driving the car again!

Beautiful!!! At least you do not have to mess up with suspension work :).
 
What a Beauty your boat is Steve, I have the exact 180 degree opposite boat, that should still be here 350 years from now.. even if unloved. . 100% welded 3/16ths plate aluminum Stanley Mink, made in Bobby Orr's home town of Parry Sound.

I am in the "life is short-don't let details hold you back" period of my life - I am not particularly concerned about trailer preservation, it's 24 years old, galvanized, and if it falls apart I'll replace it with a dual axle one, probably will anyway before taking it to Vermont in the summer. I flush the engine with fresh water, use Salt-Away, clean clean etc.

Hey Steve - your boat is gorgeous. And if you want to break up your trip to and/or from Vermont, feel free to stop in.
