    When it's repaired I'd advise turning it up the other way before going out in it
    If at first you don't succeed, give something else a go. Life is far too short to waste time trying.

    Ford011,

    Have to agree with FXST - that's not a sailboat, more likely a small o/board powered day boat.

    Might still be nice, even with that racket going on...

    Cheers!

    back from the quest
    it is more than likely a New Vivid 15'6 open runabout or half cabin,single or twin outboards to 100hp Can be lauched and retrieved by 1 man from a trailer
    tows skiers with 40hp.
    can be lengthened to 16 or seventeen feet
    Pic in the book pretty well is a match
    if it aint a hartley er sorry cant help

    How do you lengthen to 17'? attach two 100hp and full throttle with ropes attached to jetty
    Bloody hartleys, should be shot with a ball of their own shyte.

    Fordy me old china, Hartley boats have been built by the bloody tens of thousands and many, many of the things are still sailed/motored by very satified owners.... I dare say that there are many still being built right now so fix the old girl up and ENJOY the boat and be proud of what you have restored....
