Getting to what we hope is the final push for our 1962 Larson All American day cruiser, it's been a couple of years where we'd work on it, then get busy with life and work, you know how it is! I think some of the most enjoyable times have been the hunt and search for components that were missing. The whole insides were gone when we bought it, so we've had to find most of the missing pieces to put it back together and it's been a lot of fun. Some of the things were nearby Craigslist finds, and did a couple of fun daytrips to go pick things up. We've met many nice people who shared their project boat work with us, and had some good laughs over common mishaps. Also Ebay finds, where I've also sold some of the extra things that came along with the one thing I really needed, but got a whole box of stuff with it. It's been a journey for sure! Our Fiber Glassic's people are super helpful and I've gotten great tips from the forums and past articles. My two favorite finds so far, my like new, still with the sticker on bow light with grab bar and my globe for my stern anchor light that the little boat repair place in town found in a dusty box in the back room that fit perfect. It's all about the HUNT!

First, do no harm!
It's a lot easier to buy a boat than sell a boat.(Stole this from a member!)
All that work and hardware store mailbox letters for the hull? Tsk tsk..
