Surfing Craigslist, I spot a tired looking old dinghy with a perfect wineglass transom. A few dollars later, she's strapped securely on top of the jeep, and we're on our way home. This is as simple and rewarding as a project gets. Let's see what we have for leftover parts & paint in the cabinets...

Some firehose bumper should do.

Tape off the bumper, brush on some Cetol, and primer on the seats.

More primer!

Matterhorn White Toplac above the seats, Cream Interdeck below. Some proper bronze oarlocks go well here.

Love the wineglass! (Leftover paint goes on the old dinghy)

Finished! Now she's a proper 8-1/2' yacht tender.

Cheers,

Very nice! Do you have any idea who the builder of the dinghy was?

Thanks All!

I couldn't find a makers mark anywhere. I checked the upper right side of the transom, but there's nothing there. No builder's plate either.

I finally got some nice finished shots of "Less". The little boat rows like a dream!
