I have recently purchased a 1973 aristocraft 19. I am new to the boating world so I will be posting questions soon. Thanks in advance for the help. I purchased the boat from the original owners daughter. Apparently it had been sitting up for a long time-the last year it was registerd was 1977. It is going to need a little gelcoat work and some other cosmetics, but I hope to have it in the water by next summer.
