Alumacraft is a great boat and a long standing name as well. I spent many summers on Birch island and the Alumacraft I was allowed to use had a 5-1/2 HP Evinrude Fisherman motor. Great on gas consumption and my niece and myself ran this boat all day and forever. The motor was a 1955 which I have restored and runs like new. Great combo. The other Alumacraft had a Johnson 20 , only the BIG KIDS could use that!
