Parts are easy, it's changin' the pump/impeller that's no fun.
Nice little runabout. I'd go for it if I was looking and he has all the titles, etc. and was willing to negotiate.

I do not think he is willing to negotiate. I kinda like the fact that it is unique and I am looking for the fishing boat, but this one is not really a fishing boat.....

I saw one just like it on Grand Island, NY last summer. Most likely its the same one. He advertised it early this spring on CL. I don't remember the price, but it was a lot more than that. If it had been 1200 US then, I would have bought it myself.

If I did buy it, I would hang the motor on my wall for display and swap it out for a late model OMC.

When I looked at it I thought it was in extremely good condition, but the trailer setup is very poor. I wouldn't drive it far until I adjusted it better.

That's one sweet AeroCraft:D

Gotta love the balance of wood and tin on that beaut;)

The logo plate is awesome as well, not many around from that era these days. My 1960s 12' AeroCraft is a youngin compared to that rig.

The vintage Merc is rare too...not sure on parts availability though.
