[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3162292, member: 5412"] I have a 14' 1952 Larson riveted that my grandpa bought brand new that I still own, and several members of this forum have been on. Some multiple times. After a day on the water, there might be a sign of a tiny seep along one seam, but its been in some high water that would make you pucker your backside. My dad was an LST driver in the Navy and high water in a small boat did not cause him any fear. I grew up in that thing on just about every lake in oklahoma on weekends. If it got windy, out we went. He loved boating in high water. It fell into disrepair while I was gone out of state/country, and ended up in a pasture forgotten. Meanwhile I went through pontoon boats, Ranger bass boats, jet boats, etc, and finally saw the old larson in the field. Pulled it home, and restored it with a new aluminum transom, pressure treated plywood seats with padded seats added, fish locator, trolling motor, crank winch in the back that has an anchor at the bow, and a 20 hp Merc that will run it 23 mph according to a gps with just me in it. Great fishing boat. [/QUOTE]
