Re: need id help

I believe the Model FL arrived in '58. Slightly less robust given the wood seats....more of a value line boat but still well overbuilt. Based on the very popular Model F mid-range 14 footer. AlumaCraft could tell you what year...I'm guessing early given the old-style logo. Check some older postings and the number is readily found for the good folks at AlumaCraft up in St. Peter, Mn. 16hp capacity, around 600 pounds of load. Enjoy...

Re: need id help

Thank you very much. I sent them an e-mail requesting more info. i wondered if those were the original seats, i figured they should have been aluminum. They are in pretty bad shape. I would like to restore this boat do you of anywhere to get replace ment parts, or any photos so i could get an idea of what a complete boat looks like. Fortunately i have all of the screws and hardware the wood is rotten though.
