i'm rehabbing my 1960 elgin 14' aluminum rowboat and trailer. tracker was kind enough to pass on his spare motor and knowledge, and i have a pass me down trolling motor.

today i was at walmart and picked up a 6 gallon fuel tank and some small accesories.

but, i need to get new rollers, winch, tires, and wheel bearings for the trailer. also swivel seats for the benches. also i'd like a long fuel line to mount my tank in the front of the boat. i suppose i can add hose to a regular one, but if they make a long one, why not.

upom inspecting the transit, i noticed that i need about 3' x 1' of marine grade ply. anyone have a leftover piece to sell? i'll buy a sheet if i have to but, then i'll be stuck with a lot extra.

any advice would be greatly appreciated.

thanks guys!

Try Home Depot. I noticed they sell fractional plywood sheets in various thickness.

your best bet would be west marine in waterford, it is a bit of a ride but it is worth it everything you need they should have. I beleive they sell half sheets of marine plywood along with starboard if you need some.
the store is located on rte 11 near the crystal spring mall in ct. about a hour away.
go rte 2 to rte 11 can't miss it on left. I am used to west marines on every block in fla. a little less of them up here.
take a sunday ride a check them out you will like the store
