New Transom

I second Raka products. Plus you can get everything for your project from them and they are easy to work with.

Welcome to a great site.I know exactly how rare these boats are in that part of NY.
I bought my 1974 Tsunami from a guy in western NY where it was used on Lake Ontario.It took me three years to restore it,and I still keep it on lake Ontario in Olcott NY.(Niagara county).
On the day I first launched it, there happened to be a salmon fishing derby going on where the participants were all under a tent.
In a matter of five minutes they were all swarming around my boat asking "what kind of boat is that? "it's beautiful"
I kid you not,it was like I was a celebrity of some sort.It was actually a little embarrasing,they were asking all kinds of questions and constantly saying how nice it was.It did give me a great feeling of pride however.It's also nice having a rare boat in a marina full of common boats,someone is always asking about it.

My restoration was a complete one.Everything was shot,so I had to recore everything on it,from the transom to the bow.
I bought all my cloth,resin,puttys,fasteners,paint etc from www.mertons.com
His prices are very good and he ships out of Massachusetts,so it's most likely a one day delivery to your location.
He is a great guy to deal with and has a ton of knowledge on boat building and is always willing to give you the very best advice and help over the phone.
He carries all kinds of resins from polyester,vinylester,dion,and epoxies.all kinds fabric from mat to roving.

Good luck with the project,keep us informed on the progress.

Thanks for the support gentlemen. I am late replying. I apologize. I'll look into these sources. I appreciate it. I know Olcott well. I'm north of Rochester, about 1/4 mi. from Lake Ontario. I can't wait. Likely won't float this year. I'll take pictures as I progress. I'll use the archives as much as possible but will have questions, none the less, as I move along. Again, thanks!
