Superboats
Can anyone say whether Superboats were built with wood or something else? I know where one is, but it was sunk and left to sit for years. Thanks.

How old of a superboat? Chances are its probably not much worse than it was berfore it sunk....they all have wet spots....the key is to investigate just how bad it is....i have seen a few that were completely soaked from spending time on the bottom and others that are fine ....

Thanks so far. It's a hairbrained idea so far if I can get it for next to nothing. It has a Bridgeport too. If the boat's not a basket case, I'm thinking of getting by with slapping a powerhead on it. I'm not sure how old the boat is at this point.
