16 foot Alumacraft Queen Merry

[Phil Kvamme]

I just purchased a 1960 Alumacraft 16 footer with a 75 horse Johnson. The shop I got it from said it was mostly used as a ski boat. He called it a Queen Merry. Had it on the lake today, really works nicely. I am going to be working on the hull, cleaning and polishing, and the interior, but I wonder if anyone has photos of this boat and trailer when new. Was the floor painted or stained wood? What color were the trailers with fender skirts? What did the decal on the side look like? Can anyone help?

Thanks to Debi Kunst of Alumacraft Customer Service for this brochure picture of my 1960 Queen Merrie Deluxe. I don't have the fiberglass top and I don't think mine has ever had paint, but the seats and storage is right and the hardware looks the same.
