Tom,
I'm afraid yours qualifies as a "Silver Cousin" so its not a true SOB with
stick structured walls etc. Vintage SOB's in great shape do exist but they
are few & far between..............in my neck of the woods at least. Rot due
to leaky roofs & snow loads tends to kill them quickly in the northern
climes.

PS I looked at a 72 31' Steamline last week. I was quite impressed with the
spray in foam insulation in the walls. Must be cozy in the winter, however a
bit of a nightmare to replace body panels I'd bet.
