13' Owens runabout

Having posted a couple of disparate questions I thought I would start a thread regrading my 13' Owens. Based on dimensions found in the Fiberglassics library I believe it to be a Brisbane. http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii558/shmbry1/3_1.jpg http://i1259.photobucket.com/albums/ii558/shmbry1/_57...

Inspection hatch recommendations? Update Endoscope results

There are no obvious signs that there is anything wrong with the sole / deck / floor however as there are no seats there are at least 8 1/2" holes. My fear is that rain water h...

Trailer wanted Dorset area

Suitable for 13' runabout, braked. Preferably an older but tow-able trailer in keeping with a 1965 boat.
