Thanks Denny! Looks similar to the splashwell on my 79 MA! And sure does serve a purpose. Now I wonder if anyone has a mold for the upper shroud/rod/cup holders and bait station/cutting board. I have one from a 25' SeaVee but have not attempted to match it to the splashwell. Cool stuff.
I have the ability, resources and facility to fill transom of 76 Blank Canvas Seafari, cut and remove original I/O transom cap, build to 25" and a splashwell. Be a cool project but probably financially an overall loss. For now, I plan to compound original gel coat and see what is still there. Minimal crazing for her age, and may not require wet sanding. Even the dog house/engine box is in great shape. Just hate to part her out because she's a very strong candidate for a complete rebuild.
Regardless, I am so happy Don did not crush the mold in his dumpster, and I was fortunate enough to acquire it. (Thanks Rickg!)
Vezo, Part II
