Yes I am going to UMO. Yiannis64 did you do the work on your boat?

Re: 1969 Old Town Atlantis 2560

I did everything, but the engine head polishing and the cushions.
It was a labor of love. I picked up the boat, from Camden, ME. I dragged her down to NJ in one night. Have not looked back since.

If this thing doesn't handle rough stuff like i need and it beets me up. Bondo gets first dibs and if he doesn't want it your next Salmon. These boats were expensive way back when new. Like almost double the average comparible boat, huh. It's pretty lite for a 24'er, like a big sea kayak. haha I like the lines and the boat setup, my antisapations growing. check this brochure pic, looks like it gets right up out of the water nicely.

When I was down in CT I was not able to get more pics of the boat maybe next time.

Congrats on your Atlantis Jay. Thats alot of power for it, wow. That boat only weighs 2900 lbs dry weight with a small block V-8. She will fly with that power. We can help ya with any specs ya need, just let us know.

Re: 1969 Old Town Atlantis 2560

.This is the first I've ever seen or heard of an Old Town Atlantis... Beautiful boat.

The hull looks very similar to a Grady White. I bet it handles rough seas like a

dream. I'm glad this thread has been resurected. Please keep the pics coming.

Bondo, let's see some pics of yours...

...And by the way, the size of the font and double spacing is for you.

Hi All! New to the forum, have been reading for a while. I know this is an old thread, just acquired an Atlantis 2560 over here in Vancouver BC. Bought it for 400 bucks. Marina sold it to me to cover unpaid moorage. I have already started to take the old girl apart for a rebuild. I have never seen one of these boats on the west coast, they really are nice. I plan to pull up the floor and beef up the stringers and transom. Might even put an outboard pod on it to make more room for salmon fishing. Any of you guys that have these get your refits done?
