Here is a pic of my 1955 wood Mandella.
It was built with twin props-twin rudders.
I will use all the original hardware.
It has been rebuilt with new frames, stringers and a new deck.
I saved the side plywood. It is ready for the painter.
The v-drive is set in place.
I made a mockup for the twin rudders. I then made patterns for the mounting
Harlin,
Wow that is a cool set up. Both the hull and drive system. When are you going to have it on the water? I want to see it!

'55 MANDELLA
July 6 2009, 10:48 PM
I have been waiting for the painter. The boat will be painted in the original design, like a 1956 Oldsmobile. The colors are turquois/white. It will be powered by a 1955 Oldsmobile w/3-97s. &he 4 shaft v-drive is 22% O D. The props are 10 1/2 X 13.
