A meticulous frame by frame restoration
of a 1949 Ventnor 20' runabout is the next project for Van Dams.
Like some of the other restorations tackled by us, the project will be
a challenge. She's got some hardware, but that's about it.
The hull is badly out of shape and much of her deck information, including
the fin, has been lost over the years.
We're gathering all the information
possible from restored boats, publications and archived photos to bring
her back to better than new.
An original and correct Graymarine
Fireball, which is also being restored, will power her. When finished
she'll make her home in Northern California.
