Frame / Bottom Replacement

[dougz]

I am looking for someone that might have a picture of the last frame (the one under the gas tank) of a 1941 17' Barrel Back...or one that is similar. The one that currently exists has been cut & "repaired", I have the bottom off now & need to know what this frame is suppose to look like. Picture of existing below.

I am also looking for confirmation on how long the flat surface of the bottom is suppose to be. From what I can tell the flat section goes to the frame at the front of the engine, that makes it 81.5" from the stern. Thoughts?

Thank you.

Is this helpful? This boat is a 17' Barrel Back that is completely original that is fully documented if you need anymore information.

Here is a picture of one we restored a few years ago.
