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... |
