Folks I own two Aristocraft 19's ... This is a 1961 Aristocraft Torpedo Built in Alpharetta , Ga. ... They came out in the early 50's and can still be bought today in Ga. By the Turner Family, I have met the Family Scout Turner and his Dad and went through the Family Factory and museum ... ... They also make Kits ...

Fortunately, I was able to bring this sweet Mercury Mark 450 back to Her prime ... <'TK>< ;)

She is a beauty TK. My first recollection of Aristocraft was fiberglass with the sliding top. Please correct me if it I am thinking of another brand.

My mind seems to slip with each birthday.

Sambolie, That is correct ... That is what I have the 19's ... They had the sliding fiberglass top that looked like the roof line of a 1957 thru 1959 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser (Ford Mtr. C0.) ..... <'TK>< :)

SamB ... You know you are just opening yourself up talking about your mind ... For Merv to slam you don't you !! :eek:

TK, hitting SAMBOLIE on this one would be waaaay too easy, like taking candy from a baby. I'll wait for a little more difficult target!

Neither of you are far behind me. I see you got up at 2 am to pee and decided to ridicule me. Next your memory will start to fade. :)

TK, I want to come by and see that boat.

SAMBOLIE, when do you want to go see TK's boat? Let's hook up and go together.

SamB ... If you are referring to the ArisroCraft Torpedo ... That was a customers rig and it has left and back home ... Now the Aristocraft 19's are at my son's house about a 15 min ride I gave them to him ... He is big into I/O's ... <'TK>< :)

tk, thanks for getting me off the hook by making up that story about the boat being gone. I can now get over to see without Merv.:):)

That is an amazing looking boat, TK. The catch is, now it looks way too good to put it in the water! :)

Just out of curiosity, how long did it take you to restore it to mint condition like that? Do you have any pics of what it looked like before you started working on it?
