In 1960, I was 10 yrs old...Spent the Winter helping mu dad build a boat in our basement (remember the Mechanics Illustrated boat plans?)...he did 75%; I did 25%...Two years later, we did another (a 8' hydroplane)...That one was 50% - 50%...Two years after that, a 10' utility...that was 25% dad; 75% me...Two years later, I rebuilt/strengthened that and put a 4-cyl Merc Mark 30 on it...Wowza!!!

Don't recall much about the Summer of 1960...Anything happen I need to know about???
