I finnaly found a feathercraft to add to my boat collection. Its a 1956 feathercraft rocket (12' aluminum). I started stripping paint and tar off of it. Yes tar. That is my 258 in the background.

Very Nice!!!! That boat has increadible lines. I have a soft spot for aluminum boats...especially old Starcrafts! Actually I just got the head back from the machine shop today for my 1973 18ft Starcraft SS I'm restoring. What are you going to power it with? P.S. More pics please

I'm going to power it now with a '52 big twin 25 hp. I'm going to start looking for a newer 40hp. I did the restore thing with a 56 duratech, now i'm going for the resto-mod type look. Update the steering and the motor. I also think I might do a glass spit style windshied. I get some more pics after I finsh stripping the bottom. Post pics of yours. I just got done with a 50's popular mech mini-max- check it out...
