The back of the boat really sagged in the water, and when I opened it up, the the Grumman jumped up on plane, and was running on about the back 6" of the boat pad. My Grumman Sport Boat has a rating of 5 hp, and I run a 6 hp, and it runs fine, but at one time I tried a Chrysler 15 on it. The specs are: 14" long, 49" width amidships, 43" at the transom, weight 130", rated fora 12 hp motor.ĭo NOT run a larger motor, as the transom will crack, and it will be dangerous, because of the motor weight and boat speed. Send your email address to my email address, and I will send you color pics of your boat. With the optional deck added, the "seat" becomes a nice storage shelf. The shelf under the front deck, was meant as a forward seat, small, but still a seat.
I checked my 1956 Aluma-Craft catalog and you have a Model A, with the optional deck. "I'm an old dog, and these are all new tricks!"
Looks like that boat could take a 10 hp, or maybe even a 15. Measure the transom height to make sure you get the correct motor leg length. Man I was living!!īoat looks great and it looks like it's already painted a dark marsh green. I picked up a cedar strip canoe for $135.00 and used that for 7 years, when it was replaced with my Grumman Sport Boat, and an Evinrude 6 hp motor. Took that rubber raft to Wisconsin, when me moved here, and used it until I wore holes in the sides, where the aluminum oars rubbed. Caught a lot of muskrats and coon, some mink to using that boat, and one day made a double, with one shot, on a mallard drake and hen I flushed while turning a bend. My first boat was a two man rubber raft I used to float the Cuyahoga River in Ohio, when I was a kid. If this is your first boat it's a GREAT boat. The transom brace and the handles on each end of the transom look very much like a, AlumaCraft. I know for sure that it is not a Grumman "Cartopper", as the Cartopper did not have a front deck.
