Here is one cool classic aluminum 15 ft boat. It is a 1960 Smith Craft. Built in Arizona for the Fish and Game and was designed for navigating the Colorado River. They made 3 sizes that we know about. 13', 15', and 17' or something like that. Odd sizes but hey it's a well built boat. One other I know about in Grass Valley and it's a 17' model. Looks the same and my trailer is original too. The motor has since been sold while we rebuild the top decking of the boat. The boat is designed for twin outboards in a short shaft configuration.

We are doing about 42 mph during the pass by the camera.

Going to put two Merc 850's when the deck is finished. Since it's rated for two engines I thought I'd go over the top with this one. Pete Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.
