    Great time to sell a used boat.

    The boat I am buying is owned by a friend I have ridden in the boat it is in very good condition, I typically do my own service and repair so I am not held hostage by a dealer. There is no way I am buying a new boat that will do nothing but depreciate, I am not out to impress anybody on the water.

    Great time to sell a used boat.

    Scott come on man do you think I would sell my boat without another lined up? I have a larger one with a bigger motor that I will be paying cash for. Nothing better than a boat you don't have payments on.

    Alumacraft Year and Specifications

    Save the wood to trace around the replacement wood. Solid boat you have there rated for a 35hp. I searched 3 states for 6 months for the same boat, I only wanted the 2 back handles and the bow eye. I know that back handle size was only made for 3 years on the boat you have and the flying D.

    Alumacraft Year and Specifications

    Alumacraft will tell you the year of your boat, I would try e-mailing them. Looking at your back handles I would say the model you have is from the late 50's. You can have the holes filled by a welder not a problem. As far as replacing the ransom wood you will have to pull the rivets that hold...
