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.Image

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 :D

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...Image
