Re: 56 Aristocraft wood boat

i've seen very few wood aristocrafts for sale. a few, but not many. www.aristocraftboats.com will make you a brand new one and i believe the website has the pricing info. i've seen one for maybe around $8k on the www that was new.
other than that. the wood aristocrafts seem to be few and far in between for whatever reason. least i don't see many... they are pretty cool for sure. hope ya find what yer looking for... good luck

Re: 56 Aristocraft wood boat

The Aristocraft was the GW Invader-type of the 50's. Thus the popularity was spotted. Now that they are distant memories, we want them back...even those of us that scoffed the GW. Its the same with the Speedliner, Yellow Jacket, Woverine, Whirlwind, etc. The later were extremely popular, as were the Hacker, Zimmer, Garwood, Chris Craft. etc. Fiberglass oooched 'em out, not because they were prettier, they were a full time job keeping them up. I grew up with wood, thus the appreciation. Some have been revived though, but at a premium.
