Just wondering if anyone has/had one of these boats. I pulled this one out of the weeds (literally) but like they say, "there's no such thing as a free boat". Ha. Basically looking for someone to bounce ideas off of, get tips from etc...
Thanks

i've got the nineteen. but that's not an eighteen.
the eighteen was a transition boat for aristocraft. their first glass model was a funliner. it lasted for about ten years of production. followed by the eighteen which was only produced for a year or two. then they made the nineteen which lasted another ten years or so. in the early 80's they closed the ft door. however the son and grandson of aristocraft still keep the ft. door open. they make small wood speed boats now like in the 50's. the boats prior to the glass boats. support is still available from aristocraft and they have a website to go to along with a phone number.

ya might try here for some info too.

don't know how much support there is for the 110 engine.
probably not a lot of parts available for the drive. looks like a '65 110 came w/ a mercruiser 1A EZ drive.
