Re: [FWDLK] Finned boats

I copied some photo ads from a website on finned boats a while back, have 
the pix but not the site.  You could probably Google it.  Some interesting 
copycat fins.

Hi Mark;
There were a number of these type boats made in that era. Since you can
mold fiberglass in any shape you want, it was easy to give them an
Automotive look. Just a sales gimmick.

There is one I'm trying to find, it's named "the Arkansas Traveller".
In the 14' to 16' range. Several have slipped thru my hands due to lack
of funds or getting to the scene too late. It has the Fins and also
Taillights as I recall.

They are usually cheap, unless in perfect shape. I've never seen an
inboard, but suspect they were built also.
