Jim L Offline Platinum Boarder Posts: 1426 Karma: 60 Thank you received: 2	From what I can see,I'm gonna say it's a '62 cause it has the hatch that don't match the deck and does have the texture on the dash and lounge sleeper seats.If nothing else,grab that top. A lot of people would love to have it."but that's just my two cents" Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic. Note: BBcode and smileys are still usable.

Split Offline Gold Boarder Posts: 864 Karma: 32 Thank you received: 1	I also vote for a early 60's Aristo - Craft Funliner..with the forward sloping fins. . Don't buy it for the Steering wheel . The gray smaller wheel is after market plastic FLEETWING. Very common , no character. Boats built in Atlanta ,Georgia, What city has been found. ?

Bart I'm willing to pay you for your trouble to ship that hardtop to NJ for me. I've been looking for one since I bought my '61 a year ago, this is the first one I've seen.

EVERYTHING that hasn't turned to dust. Hard to judge from the pix but drag that thing outta the woods & decide if you want to attempt to bring it back from the brink. It is most likely teetering on that edge.

Then decide how much effort you want to put into taking the bits off & selling/trading them.
Windshield brackets
lights
fittings
cleats
step pad frames
steering components

It is an Aristo Craft Funliner. A little older than mine because mine has the sliding hatch. Can be restored The transom is half wood half fiberglass. stringers. are fiberglass and no foam under the floor. They are built as two hulls one inside of the other. Check the Aristo Craft Site. If you don't get the boat get the top it is very desireable. I just bought one this week. Took me seven years to find one.
