This is a kitboat from the 50's,either popular mech or popular science or one of the others is what we have so far,it was wood then wrapped in glass,At first I thought it was an aristocraft that some one put fins on,but looking a it they copied the deck style then they copied the sea lark stern look,I talked to one old guy that said he remembers it on a front cover of one of the issues,and this old guy is usually right,take a look Bill

And like you say definitely a knock off of the Brooks Stevens design for the 1956 Evinrude Lark. Any history on it and what are your plans?

FG work looks a little rough, but I'm sure you'll make it look great! Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.
