Welcome. Once owned a 69 myself, but it was a 280 Ulrichsen. Then came back full circle and now have a 96 290 Open.

Yes, very heavy, solid built boats. Foredecks and gunwales were solid. I'm not sure what parts you're looking for, but I've seen quite a few hatches and other items on eBay. You might want to try that. Otherwise, it's fabricationville. Believe it or not most anything you'll need will be available used or aftermarket. Enjoy the boat and it's tanklike construction.

Good Luck!

Looking for a rudder port 1 1/2" shaft & maybe some prop info,I belive its a 15 x 15 thats on it (not useable). It has 318 direct drive 1 1/4" shaft and a velvet drive 1:1.52 trans so any info would be great! Thanks.

Any good prop shop can take care of all your running gear! They can usually take your old prop and restore it to like new conditions.
