Anyone see the Flipping Ships episode this weekend? Edwin McCain is a musician turned boat restorer who got his hands on an Aristo Craft Nineteen and restored it for a customer. It was not your average restoration, so it was a little scary watching the build. All in all, it was unique to say the least. They also visited the Aristo Craft museum in Georgia and took a ride on one of the Nineteens from there. It was a fun episode and if you didn't see it, check it out!

I'm with you Ziggy. They call it a ratrod. Looked more to me like a rat turd. And with the helm plus the passengers plus the v-6 engine/outdrive in back all the time, I bet it has a hard time planing off. Just not for me.
