Recent addition to the Curtis 'fleet':




From the FG Library:

Wow, looks like you can float that in 2 inches of water ?

jb....don't know if you have found it or not...joe studbaker has a really nice facebook page on his granddad james' boats, both the studbaker and the via holda....they were made in Topeka Kansas, about 35 miles from me...do a google search for [joe studbaker boats] to save all the facebook runaround...john

Thanks John, I've already sent a friend request. I'm really not active on FB, but a good resource is a good resource.

Chuck, for what looks like a VERY heavy 12ft boat, it's specs only list it as 117lbs so it's really not much, if any heavier then my last vintage 12ft'r, a 1960 Sea Nymph...

I plan to pick it up Sat. Gotta either get a free boat picked up (w/ trailer) tomorrow and junk the derelict boat or empty another trailer that has my 12ft Sylvan on it.

Either way is possible ^^^ Since it's in the 60's today, and will be again tomorrow, I have a funny feeling I'll be picking up a free rig w/ trailer to use on Sat's pickup
