I just picked this up today. Free with purchase of 1986 30hp motor. I don't have any info on it except that it's a 1961 AlumaCraft 14ft. It looks restoreable and I hope I'm right. I have not found anything on the web about this boat. Can anyone shed some light on what I have and some hints on getting it back on the water? Also wondering if the faded pink gelcoat was originally bright red on these.
Thanks!

Welcome to iboats!

Yes you have an older Alumacraft fiberglass boat. The crazing and cracking you see can be repaired....... the first steps I would do is check the condition of the transom and the bottom of the hull.

It really depends on the goal....... getting it back on the water is very doable and should be accomplished fast. Restoring it to it's 1961 glory will take allot of time, money and work.
