Hi guys,
New to the forum. I took a ride to the coast with my folks yesterday and this old aluminum runabout caught my eye. I was thinking, man, a classic rig for stalking landlocked salmon on inland waters!
Would any of you know what the make or manufacturer would be and, roughly, what year? I kind of like it the way it is but a couple of holes where the control cables enter and some pitting on the chrome. Windshield is cracked at the top and a few holes were drilled near the bottom. I know quite little about boats but work on my own cars and am not afraid to learn as I go. The owners wife said it "does not leak and they just installed a floor". They are Asking $600 as it sits and I was thinking of offering maybe $400. I'm wondering if It would be worth a rescue or if it will be an expensive nightmare?
Whatever it is, it has character in spades but I'm guessing it needs a fair bit of work.
Thanks for any input!
