Darn things are popping up like dandelions.

and they are great boats... :

I'm about to buy one just for the top!

I think I'd rather have one of the tops from the 64 -66 funliners for my 63. Somebody has one of the newer tops and wants one of the older style tops, we might do some swapping.

What is the difference in the tops? I'm not sure what my top is.. I think both my Aristocrafts are from 64..havent looked at them in a while..

OK, I'll try to get this right... The '59-61 tops are the same with the recess in the middle of the top and the top is basically flat on top. '62-63 used the same top, but the top had been bowed up in the middle for more head room."64-66 uses a new styled top that slightly resembles the shape of the convertible soft top. 1959-61 top I got off a 60-61 on my 63 Aristocraft

1964-66 top 62-63 top. My boat with the original soft top

Flipping Ships made a "rat rod boat" out of one, now everyone with an Aristocraft is trying to cash in.

It looked more like a"rat turd" to me,but whatever trips people's triggers I guess. I know what your saying. At least it wasn't a Funliner they wat-wadded. I see enough of those on CL

I thought all my boats were rat rods? maybe rats?? Guess I have a 64 to 66 top.
