He also installed the prop. 1958 Continental Non-skid flooring on the floorboards of this boat. Everything looks nice and crisp! Deluxe Runabout    The guys have been working hard on getting this engine up and running. They took it to the machine shop to get the engine head resurfaced and installed new gaskets. Jack also built and installed the batter switch. Punt Gary is putting the final coat of anti-fouling paint on the bottom of this boat. Anti-fouling paint keeps gross organic build-up from forming on the bottom of the boat.
