This thread sure brings back a lot of memories. I was real worried what my wife (now ex-wife) was going to say when we tore up the front lawn washing that hull out. She only laughed. She wasn't a big fan of mowing lawns either.

re that small circular bracket that Jordan was asking about: I have only seen that on early carriers, so Lynn's explanation would make sense that it was for the capillary tubes of the first type gauges. Notice another feature of the early carrier is the rubber on the back steps. These were later replaced with a bit of welded on deck tread.
