Help!! looking for info or pic with Aeroliner boats.
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?
