I have an old beat to crap 1972 16' silverline with a 65 hp 1972 Johnson
outboard on it that needs some work also.

For some stupid reason instead of bringing it to the dump I'm thinking of
restoring it. The boat really does have a cool classic look to it and I have
some cool ideas in my head if I decide to take the challenge.

Thanks for any insight,

Take a look at this book, Runabout Renovation by Jim Anderson:

or http://tinyurl.com/55oou

This book was recommended to me by the Classic Glastron Owners
Association before I started replacing the floor and transom of my boat,
and it gives you a good general idea of the steps involved. It's a good
deal at less than $12.
