It's a 17' Grumman. Not sure any other specs on itNice! Is that a lightweight or standard weight Alumacraft? If it's a lightweight, those babies are worth a few shekels.
If it weighs 63 lbs, it's a lightweight. If it weighs 76, it a standard weight. Up where I live, we have a lot of lakes that you can get back into if you can carry the boats and the gear. Those lightweights are very desirable for a number of reasons.It's a 17' Grumman. Not sure any other specs on it
I do have an old Pfleuger canoe trolling motor for it too. The way the kiddos paddle, I need to break it outNever mind, I see it's a Grumman. I got my badges mixed up. My Mom bought a 15' Grumman as a wedding gift for my Dad. It had the sailing rig, the motor mount and a nice little Evinrude 1 1/2 horse gas motor. Nice boat, but it wasn't getting used anymore. We sold the whole kit for $800 about 12 years ago.
Is that the same Pfleuger that made really nice fiberglass fishing rods? I have two Martin 6 horse all aluminum outboards for my little boat. Those were made by the same folks as the people that went on to become Presto home products. The motor tag says it was made in Eau Claire, WI by the National Pressure Cooker Factory. Lo and behold, some guy down in NE bought the whole factory and all of the parts are still available, even after 71 years.I do have an old Pfleuger canoe trolling motor for it too.
