   Just added a few more pictures. I like the picture of the old runabout from your youth, Smart looking little boat for sure.

   Interesting conversion.
   
   Reminds me of a smaller runabout we had in the family when I was young. My dad bought and converted an ex-navy boat which if I remember didn't have any seats in it, or maybe it just had the front seats, as I do remember my dad opening up the rear seat area. I did do some research on the boats some years back and posted on another forum but can't find the post anymore.
   
   Photo shows my brother who is a couple of years younger than me moored on the River Avon near Pershore. One of a few boats that we had over the years and why I'm interested in model boats now.

   Very nice!
   I use to know a gent in Downeast Maine who owned a runabout similar to yours. He told me that it was built by ELCO. It certainly had the lines and it went like a bat out of ... you know.

   Very imaginative using your skills to create a beautiful piece of work. With it having a hull design of a PT boat, your model should plane easily.
