you guys are, and the boats cool factor is kinda talking me back into buying this boat again.. it also needs a better trailer as the one under it is pretty bad.. just what do any of you think a fair price for this would be ?? then I will tell you what I can get it for..

the owner of a boat like the one I am looking at. is redoing his in Baltic Birch Ply they originally were Mahogany..

did you try to look close at the window openers and closers ??

this is not the boat originally posted... its someone else's boat... but gives you and idea what they look like … you may have to zoom in on them to see them better..

Yeah.. #-o that's why I'm at a crossroad with it.. I like it.. but I don't know if I need another large project.. I think it would be awesome all polished up... if it wasn't missing those window openers :cry: that's really what slows me down on it.. and I still have my Arkansas Traveler...

well I went back for a second look just a little while ago.. I'm kinda on the fence with it now.. the trailer is pretty much junk but I already suspected that.. the boats structure seems quite solid with only a few minor dents to deal with.. the mahogany paneling and dash is still on the...

the second link provided by Shaugh from his post has a YouTube video and a description of how his went through rough weather.. seems to have handled it easily ..

the front and side windows tilt open from the bottom.. can be steered from inside or outside..

=D> Thank You all for playing !! its a very unusual boat... you are correct Shaugh !! its a Aero-Craft Model JCC.. which stands for.. Junior Cabin Cruiser !! they were made in St Charles, Mi. about 30 miles from where I live...

actually from what I've found out they were paneled inside with mahogany paneling and insolation between the aluminum and the paneling.. so maybe not so bad !! lol

factory built boat !! well known high quality manufacturer... model made from the late 40s to 1954 with 21" 18", and 15" transoms and 18 1/2 ft long .. all aluminum structure except some flooring, doors, benches, transom, inside paneling, etc. steering inside and outside..

Another tin boat for me !! I just looked at this boat and will be bringing it home this weekend !! =D> I couldn't pass it up !! Its Mine !! after many hours of looking and looking I finally found out just what it is... make and model and approximant year.. do you know what it is ??

That's very nice !! I love the twin cockpit boats.. I've looked at a lot of them on the internet.. Feather Craft, Crestliner, Arkansas Traveler, are a few that I know of.. they all have their own cool design !! =D> =D> =D> these are the only photo's I've found of a Arkansas Traveler that...

Yes sir !! that was some nasty stuff hiding under AstroTurf !! :shock:

Update.. did a little work to my Arkansas Traveler yesterday.. tore out the old rotted wood from the seats and found the Styrofoam flotation under the wood ..I can't remember what year I read they started using the Styrofoam flotation.. the wood was loaded with ants.. the transom is not rotted...

Very Cool Boat !! congratulations !! can't beat the price !! this is the one I picked up the other week..

Thanks Billinthedesert, Donor, & gnappi !! I thought the little wooden boat was very neat looking and has great patina.. I just couldn't resist buying it.. then had to find period correct motor and oars for it.. I'm thinking it is possibly from the 1930s .. yes the Lockwood is a 1927 72T model...

Thank you LDUBS and Billinthedesert I have a little 12' boat for fishing but its a neat little wooden boat with a 1927 Lockwood motor. this Arkansas Traveler is just going to be a little speed boat to play with.. here is a photo of my wooden boat and motor and a original ad from 1953 for what...
