If it was a snake it would have bitten me... This section of the forum that is. Alumacraft my favorite boats. I am restoring the 1958 Alumacraft Model Open C my father bought new in 1958. This has been a salt water boat and the restoration has been a challange but is proceeding well. The hardest part is mitigating the salt corrosion and trying to restore the origional bare aluminum. My fathers additions sort of turned it into a Deep C. He fabricated the dash and quarterdeck and installed the windshield. Check out my project and watch for updated photos. I am sure that I'll be looking for advice.

Re: 1958 Open C

Thank you for sharing. I checked out your restoration when you first posted it on that forum, all did very nice work! Your dad would be proud.

Alumacraft knew their stuff, no other competitors boats were better built.
