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 ..

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..

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 barrel back stern's and the Adventurer's had more squared off stern's.. anyway it looks to be a quite well made boat.. I think I won't pass it up for the $425.00 asking price ..

I dig the bow hatch. Perfect for a pop up ma-duce.

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 ..
