TOPIC: help on IDing a boat

My buddy n I just acquired a close bow fiberglass. It has alumacraft chrome markings but our research might show otherwise. We found that it could be made by aluminum goods manufacturing. It came with a Gale 60hp. The one unique thing about the boat, is that the navigation lights are blue n red, not green n red. If anyone has any info, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

We need pictures!

proz01,

WELCOME ABOARD. And YEP, photos would be a big help.

yours, satx

Many boats up to mid 60s had blue bow lights instead of green.. Back then most rough service light bulbs burn a bit yellow. A yellow light going through a blub lens would show green

If you want to keep the Bow light and want to be legal, and cannot find a yellow light to put in the socket (the yellow will not efect the red for it is already filtered out) you can get a piece of Yellow plastic film and place behind the blue....what little white light gets around the film and show blue will not be enough to get in trouble

I will work on it

AlumaCraft did make fiberglass boats for a few years. I have a 1960 AlumaCraft Tangier - a fiberglass boat.

Do they have a value or demand ?
