    Default SidCraft help (57-N)

    I'm going to look at a SidCraft hydro next week,
    What I know so far....
    Gold Decal with SidCraft and Nixon NJ
    Number on the boat is 57-N and has the name Frankie on it
    Supposed to be an A-B boat but I don't have a measurement yet, I think 9'6" for an A-B and 9'8" for a B boat
    Anyone remember this boat or have any history of it?

    Hopefully I'll have pictures (and the boat) soon.

    Thanks
    Dave

    I think my Sid was 9'-9". I ran an A Konig on it. It came to me from Dick Zivic and he got it from Gerry Wallin. I had it in the mid 60's so it must have been built in the late 50's. It had New Brunswick, N.J. on the decal.

    As soon as it cools off I'll take it off the truck
    It's 9'8" so I think it's a straight B boat, Shannon said the A/B's were 9'6" and the B's were 9'8"

    I'm picking up the 20H tomorrow

    That boat belonged to the late Frank Ferraro, who lived in Niagara Falls. I think Frank passed away in 2002.

    Thank you Bob, do you know any history of the boat?

    Not really. I grew up with Frank, moved to California almost 50 years ago, but would stop by and visit with him when I was back there. Larry Downs would probably know some history on the boat, as he was friends with Frank and he still lives in the area.
