Hello !! while getting my Aero Craft JCC over the weekend one of the people that approached me about it told me of another Aluminum cabin boat for sale not far from where we were.. so I went to look for it.. turns out it is going to be auctioned off soon.. or at least tried to be.. from what I...

Thank you AnglerRoy !! I'll check into that !!

Thanks zuren !! that's interesting.. I have property on Sugar Island where I envision this boat to be mostly !! I was also thinking about those registration stickers !! I'll be checking into them once this boat is done …

here are a few more photos my friend took on his phone.. the first two you can see the ghost remains of " Detroit Police " on the side of the hull..

Thanks lckstckn2smknbrls ! I did notice the difference in backing up being I lot easier !! storage for now isn't a issue . maybe I will just leave it for the time being...

Thanks LDUBS !! I would say it would leave a pretty uniform sheen.. but this is pretty old aluminum and it kind of looks like aluminum paint.. but where there are missing tags the aluminum is shinny. I just did it like they showed in their video which said 4 to 5 seconds then rinse.. I ended up...

Hello Weldorthemagnificent !! thanks! yes that cleaner works like no other I've seen. and yes I was thinking I may have to move the axles a bit.. the front axle is in about the same position as the old trailer.. it doesn't seem to have a lot of tongue weight at the moment, but it does drop my...

the marina was very busy today so I didn't get a good chance to get as many photos as I wanted .. here is the launch, and floating, and on the new trailer.. I think I added to much length to the tongue.. I will shorten it a foot and see if I need to take more off....

well ok, I didn't get it switched to the new trailer but I did get it moved to a friends cabin not far from the marina it was stored at so we could get it cleaned up some.. tomorrow we will get the trailers switched and bring it home.. I was originally told by the previous owners sister it was...

Hello again ! well I'm on the road again a little later then I thought. I reworked my new trailer some what again . over the winter a tree fell on it and broke one of the bunk boards.. so I replaced the four box steel independent front and rear wobblers with a one long piece of box steel so it...

:lol: WOW !! Thanks ericman !!! that's exactly what it is !! Your the man !! I'll have to look these up !! Thank You again !!!

Oh Yes !! good thinking !! lol the seller said it had a bow hatch but I didn't expect it to be this cool !! one more reason I went for it.. the transom is a bit unusual I thought ..

Here are a few more photos.. sorry for the sideways photos.. I could only get the transom one load straight .. kinda looks like possibly a Aero Craft CC or maybe a early Adventurer ?? neither look exactly alike.. in 1958 Aero Craft had some fins on some of their boats.. the earlier CC's had...

well I think I may have found the maker... I'm supposed to get more photos this evening.. but it looks to probably be a 1950s Aero Craft CC ( the "CC" stands for Convertible Cruiser ) not sure about the fins though... have to wait for the pics to come..

Thanks, yes those are fins … I should have more pics shortly.. I will post them once I get them.. I thought possibly Aero Craft too. but can't really find another like it.. but the way the rivet seems run up the bow I have seen another Aero Craft with those style rivet seems ..

Thanks Jethro !! I agree with you and the others on this boat.. very cool looking but a money pit.. lol

Thanks "zuren" I agree with everyone that its just to much to take on even though its a cool boat to bad it was left to rot away.. I'm 5'6" and can stand up straight under the roof, but.. just !! lol I will pass on this one and concentrate on my Aero Craft JCC project.. hope to get that one...

Hello guys,, here I go again... lol does anyone here recognize the maker of this old tinny ?? its kinda different and these are the only two photos I have of it and they aren't that good.. thanks, John

Hi LDUBS !! yes it is a very cool looking boat. I never had a slant six but remember them and I never heard any bad things about them.. but you are both probably correct.. and finding a trailer probably wouldn't easy either.. I was wondering about the weight also.. it must be heavy although he...

Thanks CedarRiverScooter !! sometimes I need a reality check !! lol John
