This is a 1961 Ski-Craft; a finned, one-person unmanned tow motor that was made for skiing behind.
The handle folds forward for trailing and also contains all the electric start, settering and throttle controls of a normal boat. This particular one is said to have a 24 hp engine.
The skier steered by changing his direction.

I also own a skicraft identical to the one ifn the photos though mine is a 1964 as far as I can tell, do you know the value of such a rare boat is? aaron.ayers@gmail.com
As far as monetary value goes on old water craft like this, it all depends on how much someone wants to pay for it and condition.
I bought my Batboat for $600 including the motor which is just about what it is was worth to me.
Some would have junked it while others would have paid more.
I also have an identical boat. I'm working on getting the motor apart so I can clean it up. Do you have any idea where manuals could be found? Please e-mail me back at jonathondk@gmail.com
I cant find any additional information on this boat on the Internet. Any help you can give would be great!
The FiberGlassics forum would be the best place to ask.
