Queen 16 again

[cromagman]

I will apologize now if this appears twice in this forum, I apparently don't know what I'm doing. Anyway, I recently bought a 1963 Alumacraft that the owner said was a Queen 16. I have looked all.over the internet for another queen 16 but haven't seen one. All I have seen are queen merriest, and queen of the waterways, neither which look anything like the boat I have. I tested to Alumacraft customer service the number I found stamped on the transom brace. The number was Q551. I have'nt heard back from Alumacraft yet, after all it's Saturday evening, so I was hoping in the meantime any of you guys out there have heard, seen, or own a Queen 16. Any comments would greatly be appreciated.

Re: Queen 16 again

Alumacraft will respond to you soon. I've contacted them twice for my old boats and they were great with getting the information to me.
A picture is worth a thousand words.
Enjoy that boat.

Re: Queen 16 again

Yeh I know. I tried to include some pictures, but all that happened was it send my first entry into cyberspace that's why I apologized in the beginning, just in case it happens to turn up twice. I will try again because I am quite proud of her. She needs a lot of work though, but it's going to be a long winter.

Re: Queen 16 again

I am not sure but think I have a Queen sixteen also. The only identification I can find is "Q558" stamped on the transom brace. I am planning on restoring it this winter and would like to know for sure what I have and any specifications original layout etc.

What I did was send Alumacraft customer service the number, in your case Q558, and within a couple of days they responded. My number was Q551 so I would say yours is most likely a Queen 16.

Re: Queen 16 again

Alumacraft sent an e-mail of the original sales brochure. It sounds like according to the brochure, the boat had a open floor plan with a bench seat in front. I removed the bench seat and put in pedestal seats. Its rated for up to 80hp. Mine has a 50hp Yamaha. I haven't had it in the water yet, be the previous owner said it motivated pretty good. But then again he is 95yrs old so have to see for myself.
