Help me identify this boat!

[FireMedic34]

I just got this boat, for free! All I know so far is that it's a 17 foot fiberglass boat, brand is ARISTOCRAFT, no idea what the model is and I'm sure one of you will be able to help me. Thanks!

Welcome to iboats!! Free is awesome! Id suggest looking at the library over at www.fiberglassics.com they have tons of info on older glass boats.

Welcome aboard! So, ya' can't beat the price, right? Though, as fair warning: there is nothing so expensive as a free boat

There is a whole forum for Aristocraft here at iBoats. It's probably worth looking around for something that looks like yours. You can also put more images up and someone might be able to identify it - though, they didn't always put model numbers on them.

What drive/motor do you have on it?

Re: Help me identify this boat!

Thanks so much, with your help I learned that it was an early 60s Funliner. I'm almost finished restoring a 1959 Cutter and had so much fun doing it I decided to look for another old fiberglass boat. The cutter was my first boat purchase, and first marine restoration. I still have no idea on most of the marine terminology, but the boat sure did turn out pretty after the fiberglass work & paint! Hopefully this one turns out as well.
