Vintage speedboat made of wood?

I wish I could find a wood speedboat to work on, or even had the talents to really do a wooden boat justice. The one I bought was a 1950's Shell Lake fiberglass boat. I suppose I should have used the term "classic." So far it is just the floor that is rotted and most the interior work that is missing, but there might be more severe damage when I rip out the floor. It has a 80's motor that needs a touch of work, and I will leave it in. It is hard to get period accurate when on a budget.

This is not mine, but a similar boat:

That still looks pretty sweet.  Sounds like a fun project.   :cheers:

I've wanted a wooden boat ever since seeing Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.

Fun project though, where's the build thread?  In the Restorations category?
