fireman 1,022 #3 Posted September 12, 2015 Looks like it's a 50's Feather Craft. But Ken or Steve should no for sure. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed Kennell 41,800 #6 Posted September 12, 2015 Not sure Craig. Just replaced the 15 and 23 footers with a 19CC to make more room for ponies. But.......If I had a Magic Shed, maybe I could.... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ken B 3,189 #7 Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) Obviously a Feather Craft. Looks to be a Ranger that someone may have removed the center walk thru deck (which also served as the front seat backs) to make more room for crab pots. In the second to last picture It also looks like some kind of somethings were added to the side of the boat in the rear... Not good for the value to a collector.There is no way to identify the year with out seeing the ribbing on the floor and the transom support bracings etc. As far as value... Fisherman killed the value on a lot of these boats by removing center decks and drilling extra holes everywhere on them. I have owned a half dozen Feather Crafts and trust me, these alterations effect the value. The fact that this boat still exists is cool. How much is the guy asking?The first two pictures are of my brothers Feather Craft Ranger and one pic shows the deck I believe someone removed from it. The third pic is a Feather Craft Ranger open row boat that I owned. Both boats have no alterations. I don't know of a Ranger such as the one you are interested in with a factory seating setup like that.. Speaking of Stevebo, spent the day on the water with him today. We had a great time, especially me... Not once, but twice... Class was in session for ole Stevebo. Edited September 12, 2015 by Ken B 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 41,800 #8 Posted September 13, 2015 for the info Ken. It definitely has suffered some modifications. Did they make both Port and Starboard controls?I could probably buy it for $500. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
