TOPIC: 1966 Johnson Caprice runabout restoration

1966 Johnson Caprice runabout restoration 4 years 2 months ago #143450

I'm looking for information as I start on the restoration of a boat I recently acquired. The boat is a 1966 14'9" Johnson Caprice sitting on the original Johnson trailer. The boats exterior is in overall good condition, there are a few small concerns but nothing major. The interior is non existent, seats and side bolsters are gone, the vinyl hull covering has been taken out but the plywood floor looks to be intact. Not sure if there is water in the foam, it seams dry I would need to get the hull weight to see if it's OK. The 90HP motor is all there and turns over though I haven't tried to start it. The outdrive has been removed from the boat but I have all the pieces.
I'm looking for some pictures of the Caprice interior so I can better understand the seating and bolsters as I come up with a plan to put an interior together. Also anything showing the boats construction or articles with its hull information would be helpful in the event that I have to start taking anything structural apart.
Thanks in advance any help would be greatly appreciated
