Hello,
I have been periodically surfing your website since I purchased my Aroliner Cabinaire Crusier Convertible back in April of 2009.
I wanted to wait until I was almost finished with my restoration before I contacted you. I drove all the way from Georgia to Minnesota
to get my Aroliner. I found it on Craigslist, and it looked like a fun restoration project.
I believe that my boat is a 1944, 1945 or 1946, but I have no way to know for sure. What I can tell you is that it has a serial number of 150.
That’s right…… One Hundred and Fifty! I believe this might be older than any other Aroliner listed on your website. I am 90% done with
the restoration, and I have actually had the boat on the water several times now. I also restored a 1964 Evinrude Lark VI 40HP outboard
for my boat and it goes fantastic with the older vintage boat. I was very surprised at how well the boat handles and how fast it will go.
I have attached a before and after photo of my boat and also a snap shot of my data plates which show the serial number 150.
I have temporarily removed these data plates from the boat, as I plan to fully restore them to make them more legible and then
rivet them back into place.
