I just saved a 1970 BW 17 Sport or a 16 Currituck from the graveyard here in Norway. My plan is to restore her completely.
I would very much appreciate advice, hints and tips on my little project :-)

I have some main questions I hope I can get som advice on:

Should I paint og gelcoat the hull? - the hull has been painted once before.
If I paint - what is the original color code/name?
How can i find out if there is any water/humidity inside the hull?
Do any of you know a European supplier of parts or is Specialty Marine the place to shop parts?
If Specialty Marine is the place to shop parts - does anyone know a way to ship to Europe without paying as much as 2600 USD for just shipping..?
I am planning to switch to the Supersport interior - is that ok or should i keep the original look?
If i put in the Supersport interior - does anyone know if the 15 gallon EPA topside fuel tank from Moeller would fit under the drivers seat/bench?
Where can i buy a classic Whaler steering wheel?
Is the new Yamaha F70 a good choice for the boat? It is light and powerful, but is it strong enough? I would need power for waterskiing etc. Or should I go for a Mercury 90 hp?

I would very much appreciate advice on these topics - and topics I havenĀ“t thought about.. :-)
Thanks!
