A'right - I don't know anything about these things but I'm trying to learn. Is it a Sanger or a Hondo? Don't care TBH but would like to know - with enough HP It'll get me closer to the man either way. Found a bunch of parts in one of the boxes the PO gave me - at one point the center plate was...

Gathered up enough parts and wired it to get it running. Sounds pretty good - oil pressure is good and no death rattles up to 5 grand, so that's a win. Sending the control rod out to be machined for the additional cams/turn buckles for the centre plate. What do you guys recommend to seal the...

Thanks for all the info guys :) I'll def have more questions to ask Next is to get it up and running and see what kind of shape the engine's in....

Ok; this is why I'm here :) So it's not a true flat, but a runner bottom? No ownership - but the info on the previous owners license says it's a 78(?) I don't know if there's any VIN/ID on the hull, or where to look for it if there is..... So I need to move the inner bunks outwards to let the...

Warpt71 - that is quite the build :) I'm going to have to deal with over spray in the boat at some point (why can't people just mask s**t off?) Lol. Both of you mentioned running 4 turnbuckles on the center plate; I've been looking at countless pics on the good 'ol interweb since I started...

Ok, so I'll plan to machine the rod for the three turnbuckles and plug the unused holes in the transom. Pics of your trailer bunk location would be appreciated :) On the trailer note - there's currently nothing for a bow stop block :( Planning on adding one above/below the eye to support the...

I'll use smaller pics next time - my bad, lol. I added one more pic however - it's of the center plate - it came with the boat, is the same length as the others and has three clevis holes in it. So was it rigid, as the holes in the platre line up with the three in the transom? What's the...

Tried a search and didn't come across my particular scenario. New to me Hondo Flat - be nice; I'm new to these, so my questions may be dumb to pros, but I love anything loud and fast enough to do something stupid in, lol. The price was right (?) and I'm trying to come up with a plan to get it...

Thanks for the responses - Trust me; I'm not going to put any type of engine in it unless I've dealt with the issues; hence why I was asking questions on how to go about it in the first place. My twin turbo Mustang has earned her name as the Death Machine for a reason - I've learned not to tempt...

Hello :) Garage/custom shop owner - I've got a well built Bronco II rock crawler and a twin turbo fox chassis Mustang, but always wanted a fast boat. Stumbled upon an almost free 16' flat V-drive that someone built in the 60's. Bare hull, rough around the edges, but someone put a lot of time and...
