| sweet aluminum boat identification help hey, im a new guy to the forum but not boats. from south GA but also have a house in SC at the beach. the other day on the way out to do some shark fishing i passed this boat on a neighbors dock in the canal. i have seen boats in this style but not this small or aluminum? can yal help me identify it and tell me some info on it? how old would it be? who might have made it? does anybody here have one of have any pictures of a finished one? ect. i really like the classy style and if i had some spending $ i def would had talked business with the owners but i had to carry on. i do hate to see it sitting gutless in a salty location though. if its there next time i might have to dock and talk some money   thanks for your replies in advance.  |

| I believe that is a Feather Craft. They were built in the 50s and 60s in Georgia. Take a look at this link: http://www.feathercraft.net/FCAbout.htm |

| Smaller but the double cockpit and aluminum construction reminds me of The unknown 1955 Lonestar inboard |

| Howdy, Looks like a Feather Craft DR, the Serial number should be stamped into the transom to the right of the triangluar motor pad. "DR" should be the first letters in the hull ID. Sincerely, Troy

| Yes, looks like a ± 1955 Feather Craft Deluxe Runabout, check 5th post here for pics who look the same. See also Feather Craft Deluxe Runabout 1955 -- Feather Craft Vagabond 1954 -- from here. Cheers, Angel |
