[QUOTE="oldboat, post: 464093, member: 23896"] Hello to all.. well yesterday while going to look at a Lone Star Starliner, I passed a house that had this old All Steel Beast sitting in the yard.. it caught my eye and I had to turn around and have a look !! I went to the door and was greeted by a elderly gentlemen who was eager to tell me stories of his old boat.. he told me it's a late 40s to 1950 Hoffman boat built In Canada for running on the Great Lakes.. its 22' with a Marine Chrysler Slant Six and Borg Warner Velvet Drive that was in it when he bought it.. it seems to me the Slant six would be a later engine if the boat is indeed from the late 40s.. I remember slant six's being in cars in the 60s but I'm not sure when the first ones appeared the boat has been sitting in his yard for 25 years without moving.. I can't confirm any of this as I can't find a thing on any Hoffman built boats anywhere on the internet.. I think it has a little resemblance to Steelcraft boats but can't find another one that has the same looks as this one.. does anyone here recognize the make of this old boat ??? thanks, John [/QUOTE]
