Ive been thinking of this for a while and today I desided to start.I have this 1979 19 foot sea craft bow rider that I want to turn into a center console.

I began today taking everything apart, doors, hatchets,
hoses,pulpit, bow rail and so on. the boat needs a lot of work but Im confident that with the knolegeable advice from the people on this forum I can get the job done. So all coments and advice will be heard, looked and appreciated.

Is this correct? Or is it a 69'?

Just go slow and easy. Check some of the other projects and see how they started.

Tito,

Is that an ID plate under the passthrough to the forward cockpit? If so, that will have the Hull ID number which may help to narrow down when the boat was built. It does look like a mid-late 60's version.

I thought about doing that to mine about a year ago. Im glad I didn't.

This is the ID plate But I dont know the procedure to find the year it was made. Can any of you help?

Gigolot; What made you chage your mind?
