Information needed please

Looking for some info if someone has it handy.

What are the angles of the "steps" on the lower part of the hull? Circled in red. What about the hinges? Are there any sources for them?

Greetings Mark:

The Studebaker Museum does sell blueprints/drawings so you can likely purchase them, although it isn't always a quick turnaround.  I don't have a floater so I can't get you measurements.

The angled cut at the rear is 45 degrees. At the front it follows the same angle as the tub. I got my hinge halfs from Robert Walsh over ten year ago. I don't know if he has any left, but you can always contact him.

Here's also a few pictures I took when I did mine.

Thanks for the information Gents! M29C3284 and Patrick Tipton,   I check your threads for examples, but just wanted to confirm angle. I'll check with Robert to see if he has any more hinges left.

Try Mcmaster Carr for the hinges. I made all my own for 2 weasels.
