Hello. I know that sears made/offered several differnt models of aluminum boats in th e50-60-70's. I also know that hey farmed things out to different manufacturers. Is there a chart or a reference wher someone could look at the design of the boat to figure out who made it? The boat I have and the boat I am looking at have similar charcteristics. Mine is a 11969 sears 11 1/2 foot light weight boat.rated 7.5 hp and 488 max weight. it has the same transom as the one I am looking at, including the non-exitent drain plug, but this boat has four bench seats instead of three. it may be 12, even 14 ft long. It is currently frozen on its side in about 5 inches of water so that is why I can't see any id plate! It's also 30 miles from here and I don't have any pic, tho I looked at it this am.
I saw a chart at iboats wher they mentioned sears 'utility' boats 11.5 ft and up, with the weight of the boat climbing higher with each half foot length. Also the capacity of the boat grew with each 1/2 foot length gain. I'm sure the design of each was slightly different so as to allow more capacity/hp. This is the chart where I found my info on my boat.
I'm looking at trying to get more carrying capacity, but not getting too much more boat or too heavy of a boat (launching ease, possible cartop carrying). I also have figured out that each boat is different ie; an Alumicraft 14 ft will probably have a larger hp rating than a wards Sea King 14 ft.
That all being said, I'll just have to wait a couple more weeks to see the thawwed boat. For $200 I should just take my chances. When I can get pics, Ill post so those in the know can lead me in the right direction. Thanks for the site, this is great.
