    Wow, a vintage Aristo-Craft mono, but what is it ? .

    Hiya Guys

    I realize this isn't an electric boat but I was hoping there was someone here on the board that's far more knowledgeable in old school stuff like this than anyone we have around here. A friend of mine offered me this this vintage shelf Queen this afternoon. according to the radio and electronics in it it's an Aristo-Craft but who knows what model.

    It's 32" long, about 10.5" wide, the Hull is a heavy solid wood build, not a wooden skin over a skeleton frame and it has a vintage Enya. 29 water cooled motor spinning a 2 blade brass prop. What use to be nice bright white paint has faded to a dingy yellow and from the looks of things she's never seen water so I'm guessing whoever put it together park it on a shelf where it's probably sat for the better part of 40 years. I was wondering if anyone could possibly shed some light on what this is or may be ? . Thanks

            Yep, I wasn't sure of the brand of paint but it certainly looks like Epoxy paint and it's certainly yellowed like the old epoxy did as well.
            I'm thinking it's probably an old-school mahogany Hull and it probably weighs the better part of 14 - 15 lbs.
