Hello, I have a 1959 Smithcraft boat that is a 16 footer. They originally manufacture Seth Smith in Phoenix, Arizona and were designed for river running. I have pretty much completed restoration work on my boat and am getting ready to take it out for a run. I purchased Mercury Force 90 outbiard for it and that should push it along pretty good. If I can be of any help please feel free to ask me any questions. I may not be able to answer your question, but I will try. Steve.

(I'm not sure of that though.)I've only found a couple of other pictures of them and only know of one other person that owns one. He is a member of this site also. Search Smithcraft to find my other posts. It's powered by a 850Merc outboard engine. It's a progessive piece of work. I work on it when I have the time to do it right. So it will take me awhile to finish. But I'm trying to post pictures as often as possible to show anyone thats interested in a small boat project. thanks for asking, SmithCraft64

doh! sry i thought you were going to be hiting the wake and catching air..but instead you want to ride the wake.....was wondering if you will be using surfboards or will you be wake skating or wake boarding? whatever it sounds like fun!
