I bought a 1971 Allison 15ft needs lots of work. Anyone ever take one of these on before. I have lots of pics but I am having trouble posting them.

I have replaced the transom on this one and have had it in the water, it still needs to be refinished.

I Have Done Several They Are A Bitch To Get Apart! I Have Done A 67, 72 Tunnel And Doing A 68 15r Now..

I Took The Cap Off Actually Cut It Off And Tore All The Wood Out And Replaced.. It Usually Takes Me With 1 More About 3-4 Months To Do It And Re Paint.. Fun Little Boats..

My 15 I Plan On Runing A Evinrude Kc-13 On It..

Kim what kind of money does it take to do one of these?

Here are some pics

The Transom seems to be really solid. I stood On the motor and it didn't budge

Here is some of the damage it looks like this under the rub rail almost the entire thing. The floor is soft too.

I emailed that guy on craigs list and he never returned my emails. It will take some work to get that one back on the water. Good luck. It will be a neat boat when you get her done.

The problem is I don't know where to start.

I Will Try Tomorrow To Email You A Few Pics Of My 67 That I Cut Apart. I Didnt Take Any Of The Tunnel Or The One I Am Working On Now.. Cost Isnt That Much As Far A Materials. Labor Was The Real Deal Cost For Me... Those Are Actually One Piece When "paul" Put Them Together New.. They Are By Far The Hardest I Have Ever Done... I Raced My 67 In Fl This Yr. In Vintage And I Guess We Did A Good Job It Didnt Break Or Any Stress Cracks.. Fun Little Boats...

Make Sure You Have Something To Make A Jig If You Were To Cut It Apart To Make Sure It Will Fit Back Straight...

I got it off the trailer today and made some what of a fixture. Not sure if this is good enough or should I add some more supports. Probably going to take the deck off next but I'm not real clear on what is supposed to come apart. I was looking for some pics of one that was kind of the same but came up empty. Here is what I have so far
