I picked up a 1963 14 foot Alumacraft a few weeks back. Got it from an old guy who said it’s been in the family for many years. They built them strong back in those days , with extra thick aluminum. I got out the power washer and sprayed it down , cleaned it up . Then painted the inside a few times . It almost looks like a newly restored classic boat now!

That is definitely an old boat! Does it have Bluetooth?

Hah - no bluetooth yet, The depth gauge is on the left and runs off a little battery. I did get the motor and gas tank back on it about 3 weeks ago and it all fit together nice. I got a used 2007 Tohatsu 15hp and had to rebuild the lower unit –it took forever to get the parts for it . . But I never did take this one out on the water yet - there are plenty of fresh water lakes around here I can go to although I want to try the Indian River again - which is hard to launch a boat with only one person because the river current moves south , and then sometimes it moves north - and if the wind is blowing it’s almost impossible. I should just try the fresh water lakes around here first to see how well the motor runs. I will update another snapshot soon as I catch a nice size river trout.
