New/Old boat

I finally  talked a guy out of this Keith Steele boat that I have had my eye on for about 5 years. It has been outside the whole time and has seen better days, the boat is solid and amazingly none of the wood so far that I have found is rotted. I clearly have my work cut out, but I am happy to have this old boat and look forward to restoring it. It is a model 10 and the boat # is SKH623062979, I would like to know something about the boat, the previous owner said it was used as a guide boat by a local outfitter many years ago, I know there is some kind of record of the boat and would appreciate any info and advise on the restoration process I can get. 

Thanks,

Dan

Nice find Dan.  Bring it over the hill to the show next week so we can get a good look.  I have plenty of boats and would be happy to have you row one down to camp.

AJ,

Sorry I missed the show this year, family stuff came up. I would have loved to asked your opinion on my restoration, would there be a time when I could bring the boat over to get your take on a couple of things?

thanks,

Dan

Yeah, any time, just give me a call.  We are working out of Dutch's place now.  It is on 5000N of Victor.  We could meet there.
