Hi there
We, Anne and Kurt, have recently purchased an 1969 Alcan370. It is an all aluminum boat that we have just stripped the paint off. We will finish prepping and paint in the spring.
It has been out of the water for 6 or 7 years. It appears to be in really good shape, but being new to boating, we don’t really know! We did have a preliminary inspection done and he said that it would be worth buying. We do need to replace all the batteries (4), and would like to switch to solar power for the house. If you have done this, I would love to hear if you think it was worth it. We have original electric stovetop and oven, small fridge, possibly a small chest freezer. We are considering Firefly batteries and realize we will need to increase the house batteries (2) to a greater amount.
