I recently took a look at a boat I had never heard of before called a Johnson Sea-Craft. This is a 13ft. dual cockpit runabout with an 1961 Evinrude Lark IV motor and trailer. It looked like a fairly interesting little boat, much like a Glasspar Club Lido. Does anyone have any literature on these boats?

Consequently, I'm trying hard to convince myself that I should buy the little thing. At only 13 ft. though, I suspect the max. wt. load for it can't be more then 600 lbs., not very much room.

Is the Johnson Sea-Craft for sale? I just found this web site and am thrilled to see these pictures. My grandfather was James Johnson (founder, owner, designer, and builder of the Johnson Sea-Craft). We still have one of his boats in the family and many old pictures and adds.

I don't think he every colored one of his boats pink though!
