Re: Vintage Alumacrafts on YouTube
I have watched these videos several times--classics. I believe each is of a Model RBL Alumacraft.
This was a Model RB (rear seat in normal position for tiller operation) with wooden seats and flotation in the form of styrofoam, not the more expensive air tanks. Same Model R width and build, as best I can tell (though I have never seen one). Engine capacity, though, was for only 16 hp in '59, not the 18 hp that an R or RB was rated for. And, load capacity was significantly lower. It believe it was a one or two year only boat...'59 and perhaps '60.
This fellow really makes it move with the Mark 25 and the Big Twin. The Spinout video cautions all of us to be careful out there...
Same boat in these videos...fellow just found a (hard to find) center steering deck for later videos.
