Just bought a s/h Super 7 but it didn't come with a stand so I can't

I've just bought a Super 7 (still looking for a suitable stand!!)
serial number is SK58888. It has a cone-type clutch, no power cross

I've had the kit for 10 years. I have the decking done and some of the hull
planking BUT I have met a point where it seems to be way beyond my skillset
to plank this. I'd pay someone to finish the hull planking ...
