I too have a boat which is as close to my Grandpa’s. I repainted and fixed it up- Alumacraft from the 50’s. I love fishing in it as it reminds me of him, my Dad and oldest brother who all fished with me in Grandpa’s boat. Good stuff!
I had decked a 12’ V hull and took it out once to the river. I looked great but it was tipsy in the water with 2 of us. I sold that boat and bought a bass tracker V16 which was very stable. It’s gone and now I. have a 14’ 1050’s era Alumacraft. My plan is to restore it to original and use...
