Can anyone help me identify this boat

I think it's an alumicraft from the 50s. I stripped and cleaned the whole boat there are no markings

Sure looks just like the 1950 Aluma Craft in this ad:

Kismet answered a question about Aluma Craft in another thread on this site. He posted some helpful links there: https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=39986

Here's another Aluma Craft thread with lots of info: https://www.tinboats.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=358685

Ha. Seeing that boat in the pool was awesome.

Installed the rail. I'm very happy with it. I think it came out good. Plus it added another 3 inches to the width and 9 inches overall height. I think it will be the perfect height to keep the kids from falling overboard. I can't wait until this thing is done

I put a layer of "coat it" on the bottom. I'll let you know how it works

Installed the floor. Made a bench seat next to me for the kids, and carpeted/installed the rails on the trailer.

Your welding skills are SUPERIOR!!

I'm going to use aluminum to frame mine, but I'll be using rivets I think..

I will likely be doing this same work to my boat. Great job man!

Nice! Pods?

Looks like a great job so far.

I'm curious about the rails, especially when at the dock and trying to get over them. Perhaps they just look taller than they really are.

I don't think I will need pods, but I can always add them I have plenty of aluminum sheet metal laying around I could weld up if necessary
