Being sold with No Reserve, the Matadore would be the final wooden model for Aristo-Craft, the 15′ Matador was added in late 1957. Quite unique in design, it had two round cockpits with a center driving pedestal in the rear of the boat. Fins that lay almost horizontally gave a unique flair to this vessel.
So popular were the AristoCraft boats, that toy manufacturers were using the designs on their products.
The focus on wooden boats for AristoCraft seemed to come to an end in 1959. Even working 24/7, the boat plant was retooled to accommodate for the newer fiberglass boat productions.
This boat is in very good shape, and is powered by the 35Hp Evenrude Lark
The seller states all the wood is very solid, the interior vinyl is pliable, the engine turns over with compression and the control cables work freely, but having been put into long term storage this boat and trailer may need some sorting. (2″ trailer ball)
