Re: What type / model / year is this aluminum boat?
It may be a Cruiser Craft, made by Phil Dill Boats near Dallas:
copied from another forum:
I believe that one is called the 19' "Sunbeam" model, and they were manufactured by Phil Dill Boats out of Dallas. I've seen 2 or 3 different cabin styles, and the later ones have more of a flat top cabin, while the early 53-54's had the curved top.
I've ran across a few short ones, and two 21 1/2' ones, but not one that length up close, but there was one for sale on Dallas craigslist a month or two ago. I'll try and get ahold of a friend of mine in Dallas. I think it belonged to one of his friends so I'll see if he still has it.....

Neat looking, Aqua or Cruiser Craft... Keep us posted if/when you buy or decide to restore her. It's for sale in Dallas, correct? Is the 1956 Aqua Craft how it's listed on the title?
