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
ReplyDeleteAs 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.

ReplyDeleteI bought my Batboat for $600 including the motor which is just about what it is was worth to me.
ReplyDeleteSome 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
ReplyDeleteI 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.
