Re: 72 Aristocraft 19' Vs. 78 Wellcraft Nova 250 XL For First Boat

As requested here are some of the pics. The boat seems like it's in pretty good shape except for some of the interior and the problems with the bow and around the windshield. Any suggestions on repairing the damage on the bow?

just some observations..

i don't see the bow damage. maybe a pic of where your talking about.

have ya got a ski locker? reason i ask is only the very early nineteens didn't have one. i believe prior to '72. any hin on it. mines located right above the drive on the outside.

when my interior rips like yours. i'm thinking i'll hopefully just be able to replace the outside edge piece, keeping the inside piece that says AristoCraft on it.

congrats on your find. don't forget. aristocraft is still open for biz. they will be good help when ya need it from the oem. they know the facts on our old boats.

now i see the bow damage. no idea how to fix it. time to talk with arsitocraft i think.

i'm guessing techs will say loose the inline fuel filter. it's not likely uscg approved.

Mine doesn't have a ski locker. Apparently it's a 70 actually. I may just deal with the checking for now and not worry about it. I plan on changing whatever isn't uscg approved to the right stuff so I don't have any problems. So hopefully I will get the title and registration for it soon so I could get out on the water and have some fun.
