Sweet project boat! I think a bracket with outboard would be perfect. Maybe a walk around center console pilothouse. You might consider adding a built in "cuddy" in the bow for storage. Very practical for holding anchor, fishing gear, chairs, bbq etc. Keep us posted on updates. Does it need a new transom and stringers?

Check out this Nauset 25' for photos for center console pilothouse. This looks very functional but might be a love it or hate it design. You can always make it better looking by changing the front windows to two or even three windows. http://newenglandboating.com/news/nauset-marine’s-custom-touch.html

Here's a better looking CC pilothouse IMHO.

Wow...definitely an awesome project!!!! I'm jealous. Now that Eastern #1 is done I'm bored off my ass.

I did the transom over , the PO made such a mess of it I couldn't stand it , it must have weighed 300 lbs . the stringers are foam cored so they are fine . he screwed the deck up to so that went . there was a lot of lamination on the sides and bottom so i replaced a lot of the original glass . it looks like shoddy work when built , glass not wetted out , laminates over dry resin , pulled off 4' pieces of roving with little effort . used 9 gal of resin and yds of cloth to get it back to where i'm comfortable with it .
i have a 22 eastporter cabin that Travis is going to photo shop on it but im leaning to a doghouse with a small cuddy. im not much at taking pics but ill take some when i get back to it , maybe a month . Joe merton @ mertons fiberglass is giving me a lot of good advise , he's a pretty knowledgeable guy

I'm gutting one right now. I had the bottom done at a friends yard. I replaced all the through hulls, took out the tanks and I am currently removing the coring from the inside. My TRIPP is a 74. I also have a rebuilt Yanmar 4LH-TE (110hp) that I will install. I will probably throw some Kirby paint on it and be done.

tripp

mine is a 70 but i think that's because it didn't have a title , you didn't need one in 1970 in Ct. It has no coring in the hull just in the washboards . did yours look like lousy work when you got into the hull ? I have a 90 Honda that should get 10-12 kts if I keep it lite , looks like a CC with a shelter deck up front

The boat looked terrible. I found it in the woods with a tree growing out of it. The hull is not cored just the washboards and foredeck. The v birth was rotten too. Luckily I have the fiberglass stringer system.

There was one in Georgetown Ma for free I looked at last year and passed on . wish I had it now for the foredeck .

Here are some pics of a friends restoration. I think the fiberglass was mostly in good shape but he made the console.

tripp angler #4- cant make them right side up. Figured you would still rather see them than not...

 

[Prdlobster]

Toolate...your buddy has a nice rig. Do you know what year the hull is?

 

[Toolate]

No idea but it is sweet. Found another pic of it. Hope it comes in right side up.

 

[Tuckerman]

I had to see it the right way. Wow nice job. I couldn't have anything that pretty.

 

[Toolate]

Thanks- he worked for Pearson and that is their proprietary epoxy/varnish mix. Wetsanded I believe and that whole thing is screwed on from inside the console so it can be removed and refinished.

 

[SHORT STEP]

Almost done

Finally , all thats left is to paint the bottom

Looks great bob!

Is the Tripp exactly the same as the sisu?
The sheer line looks flatter on the Tripp, like maybe a little more freeboard.
I could be seeing things that aren't there.

 

[jojobee]

Not the same as the sisu. This hull has been made in fiberglass since the 50's! Originally under the Palmer Scott/ Marscott plastic name.
