I am radar5667 and new to your site but have enjoyed looking around. While deer hunting this fall, I came up on this old boat laying upside down in a field next to some very old buildings. I liked the age and lines of it so I bought it from the grandaughter of the original owner.
I am at sea right now but took the boat to a buddy of mine and he thinks it might be a 1951 Alumacraft with a number on it from the maker of 635 R. Seems to be in pretty good shape for being possibly 66 years old. I also purchased the matching trailer. Not sure what I should do with the old girl, but it looked pretty cool so I could not pass it up. There is also an option to purchase the pickup truck that was used to tow it. I found a 1951 Dodge half ton pickup in the woods not far from the boat. Also in pretty good shape for 66 years old. Last fall I found an outboard motor in surprisingly good shape and bought it. It is a 1954 Evinrude SuperFastTwin 15hp. I just had the motor completely gone through. Was thinking the boat motor and trailer would be a nice combination.
Can anybody recognize this old girl?
I fixed the attachments.
Can anyone recognize this boat and trailer now?
