Hi, Still Afloat !! I guy on Aero Craft FB told me he is running a Mercury KF7 Super 10 with a q mid section and quickie lower unit.. he is 220 lbs. and it goes about 35 on his GPS but he still has to mess with props .. according to the old Aero Craft Brochures this hull weighs 80 lbs.

Hello Pappy !! yes this defiantly needs to be restored back to the way it was.. luckily it hasn't been to badly molested and should be pretty easily restored .. and yes there is a Aero Craft FB group and they are quite happy to see it too !!

Thanks ! yes thats what I'm thinking as well.. I need to recreate the center dash that is missing... should be pretty easy to remake.. the side brackets are still in place and I can see how it was made from the very few that I have found on the Aero-Craft website..

it was rated for 16hp on Aero-Craft brochures... I have a 1949 Mercury KE7 Lightning10hp for it..

I picked up this odd little 11 foot boat last week not knowing just what it was.. just knowing it was a odd little boat that looked like a possible old racing boat.. later to find out it is a early aero-craft racing hull made from 1949-1952.. only 6 to be found on the aero-craft web site.. mine...

Thank You bikerider !! it is a classic looking runabout.. but... it also is open enough for some fishing as well .. so sort of a win win boat !!

Thank you 450clown !! the front cockpit does have the walk through seat backs.. I'm not sure on the motor yet.. I can't find much info on the models of these boats and from the little I have found this one really doesn't fit the specs listed.. I have a few motors I can choose from.. 1958 Mercury...

new to me 1956 Duracraft 16 1/2' that I just brought home yesterday.. photo's At the Mackinac Bridge and at home.. nice straight boat that needs some restoration work..

I bought this Alumacraft Model K 16' boat from the same person I got my 1957 Lone Star Holiday from.. I still have to go pick it up.. thought I'd share some pics of it.. I also saw this Rich Line "Knight" for sale.. I like the looks of it and someone spent some time polishing it !! is still...
