Picked up a boat and trailer for 150$ and now am trying to restore it.
It
is a 1954 model (I believe. the Johnson outboard on it had "eleOR" in
the
serial number, indicating electric '54 and it's apparently the
original
motor)

Problem is, the Canadian built boat from the Aeroliner company has been
out
of business for a long long time. I am trying to find a reference to
it in
magazines, websites and such with no luck finding much of anything. I
have
found one site only with any reference to the company, and no pictures
of
this model.

It's a 16 footer, steering console, covered bow, shallow draft in the
back
(about a foot and a bit deep) progressively expanding to about two and
a
half feet deep at the front. Back end is flat bottomed and changes to
a vee
at the bow. Sort of reminds me of Relic's boat from the Beachcombers
t.v.
series, but an outboard instead of a jet-drive. As it sits now,
screams
"old police boat" to me, but don't know how much of the accessories
are
original. The windshield, lighting system, seats, ect.. are old and
old
style, but would like to bring this baby back to original if I can.

Anyone ever heard of them or know someone that has a picture I could
see
perhaps?

Dan in the bush... dan in the bush, i have an aeroliner boat that dates
back to 1952.
it's an aeroliner debonaire model. it was built at the factory in
st.boniface manitba.there is a web site that shows pictures of these
boats.
