Great to see you people restoring these AT's.* I regret selling mine about 6 years ago in a fit to "pare down" before moving here to Maine.* I had a 14" built in 1956 that I found abandoned in the Apalachicola River in Florida.* It was totally overgrown with scum and filled with mud.* I cleaned her up and repainted in the original color scheme, off-white and sort of a "Richard Petty" blue.* I named her Hillary for the, then, first lady.I'll try to find some photos to post.* Good luck to you all.Greg Phillips Brooklin, ME

Wow, what a lucky find. I have not named my boat yet. I am open to suggestions though. Here are some pics.







I had to completely redo the transom, and seats. The whole boat really you could say was taken down and completely redone. It was a lot of work. I just got it out on the water. It did not leak that I can tell. I just took it out on Sunday. I have a trolling motor for getting around right now. No money for a boat motor yet. I was very pleased with the sturdiness of this boat. Old school is the way to go! They don't make boats like this anymore.

For those interested, here is a link to my Photobucket boat album. There are many more pictures of the boat work there.
