Completely rotten which is to be expected when it sat outside with no cover for years and years.

Looks like you're putting gull wing doors on the 4winns lol

I've been cutting up the four winns and it is really rotten!





Someone patched the floor up at some point and added timber right over the rot!

I bet it was a low rider once the 'new' repairs that had been done to it started to soak up water too. Jeez, poster child for what poor maintenance & bad owners can do to a boat.

What's the plan for the donor trailer again?

But I think with a little PB and CSM you can have her fixed up in no time..ound:

You need to PM jasoutside on this one..

Happy Easter..

Ya Jb it's funny because I have had a few people say to me "that's a good looking boat", and on the outside it doesn't look too bad.
After spending some time here on the forum I knew this one was rotten, due to the lack of care.

After i get the four winns hull dealt with I will pull the aerocraft onto the trailer and see if it will work for it.

You know it looks like a big v8 would bolt right up and we could go to the lake drags? :victorious:

Looks like you found a nice trailer under all that rot !

It's officially a canoe!

Re: AeroCraft York 1960ish Transom, Stringers, Deck

Um, be sure to wear a PFD, not much freeboard on your canoe

Tip-a-canoe would be a nice boat name though :lol:

OK It's "Walleye weekend" up the road in Freeland and I'm hearing fireworks!! It a festival on the weekend of the last Saturday in April which is the opener for inland waters. They have a walleye tournament and many other activities. Some day soon I hope to have the Aerocraft back together to do some fishing myself.

Happy weekend everyone!!!

Man it seems like forever since I've done any boat stuff! Oh wait it has been like forever!! Life has been getting in the way! One day at a time. We'll get there.Hope to be chatting it up very soon!

Hope everyone has been having a good time of it, so far, the summery season.

Looking forward to the forum getting ironed out!

Peace Out!!!

Back a few months I purchased a complete lower unit off the web, and the guy said it is a short shaft. Well on the 1988 120 Evinrude they called them long and extra long. What i received was the extra long and I needed the long. Oh well!! After tearing it down and looking at all the parts I think I will be OK with utilizing the parts I have along with the parts I can use from the newly acquired unit.


I did get it all torn down and I will have more updated soon.

This is the gear case disassembled.


This is the old gear set that came with the four winns, and the reason I had to find a usable unit.
