1954 Grumman Sport Boat. All original. No mods as it is a classic in it's classic original OD Green paint. Various vintage and antique engines get run on it.

1954 12' Alumacraft Model R. Brought this boat back from the dead. Steering deck was missing. Sourced one and brought the boat back to original condition. It sports a 1954 Johnson 25hp on it for power. Occasionally a 1957 Johnson 18hp as well.

1967 16' Alumacraft Model K. Again, all original except for Wooden seat tops to go over the aluminum seat skins. This boat is my workhorse and sports engines all the way up to 50hp on occasion.

Like many others in here I do not have the heart to hack up history. :beer:

Nice boats Pappy...

It's got a lot to do with age imo... The golden age of these boats was the 50's... boat's made after about 1970 have zero appeal to me, and worrying about preserving that "history" is pretty pointless. Boats from the 40's 50's and 60's should be preserved imo. Anything after that you can make into a parade float if you want.... Just my 2 cents on the subject.....

I have an aluminum boat from 2004, but I still use an Old Town Guide 18 made out of red cedar and canvas. It is from 1951.

1979 Klamath 14 footer mod V made in Sonoma Ca which is where I was born and raised. Cam with a 1971 Evinrude 9.5 but currently has a Evinrude 20 hp with a 30 hp carb on it. Sure going to hate to sell it.

I just brought home a 1975 Sea Nymph 16R. It's going to need a lot of work and it's my first project boat. It passed an overnight leak test so, so far, so good.
