    I am confused and have a question?

    I recently purchased a 12 foot aluminum fishing boat to play around with this summer. The guy I bought it from stated it was a 1967 Smoker Craft, but I am now having my doubts, in looking at the older smoker crafts the style does not seem the same, and when the title arrived, it states 1960...
