when I was a kid

I loved those old aristocrafts. Very popular boat in the midwest lakes areas. We had a very similar boat without the hardtop. It was an 18' Speedliner made in St. Joe Missouri.

That wooden boat pictured is gorgeous and would probably be pretty quick with that 75 horse Johnson. Must be a meticulous owner--check out the custom made and beautifully varnished engine support.
