The Alcan has been sold.

Some pics of the Alcan 370

Sorry it is located just north of Peterborough Ontario. halstedpeter@gmail.com

Just posting to see if there is any interest. I have a 370 that I have been meaning to get into the water but I am moving and have no time to complete the work it needs. Has two Volvo Penta AQ150 engines. Port engine requires new fuel pump but both engines run fine. Hull needs paint which I have. In...

Having a difficult time finding a fuel pump for a AQ150b Which is the Buick v6 225 odd fire. Any ideas other than an automotive one.

Any pictures? Great fishing rig also.

Would like to install my transducer that came with my new chartplotter. Where is a good location on the transom.

Terry I live not too far from you. I am on Buckhorn Lake almost right at the Gannons Narrrows bridge in Ennismore. Sent you a PM.

Not mine just thought it was interesting.

How do you deal with the three deckhouse louvered panels. My Alcan has three. Just have them off for painting and notice wasps and hornets like the empty cavity for nesting. I was thinking screen material adhered somehow.

Had mechanic start engines in yard and they both ran. Need new or rebuilt fuel pump and today I noticed one of the exhaust elbows was rotten. Anyone have any idea where I could get one ? Its an AQ150b engine.

Thanks Dave I ended up using oak which I stained to match the new floor. I am in the process of sanding the topside to ready for primer and paint. Had a company come out and blast with crushed glass but they ran out of media. Left lots of sanding for me to do and a huge mess. Had I of known the resu...

How about Peterborough way ?

Anyone have a line on teak moulding ? Looking for quarter round to finish flooring install. Or any ideas on good substitute.

As far as a chartplotter inside an Alcan would you require an external receiver or would a unit with built in antenna work within the boat ? Just wondering if the metal would affect reception.

Anyone going? Just thought I would break the silence.

Got them out. My windows have a small section or void of the upper guide track at about the midway point. Just slid screen past this point then fed it out this opening of the track guide. Must be different than yours.

Thanks Rob I will give it a try. It was an eye opener at the rendezvous seeing what others have done. Your workmanship was impressive.

Thought I would get my torn screens repaired. Removed the interior trim ring but can't seem to figure out how screens come out. The exterior trim seems to have a joint in it . Do I just pry it off? Can't see window removal just to repair a screen?

Alice and I will be making the rendezvous as well. Driving down as well.

With this cold all I can do is think of future projects like flooring and paint. Went to Toronto boat show to get ideas but found it too busy to talk reps at the different booths. Did see Mary Ann from Gilligan's. Pretty quiet on this forum ?

Does anyone know approximately how many gallons of primer and paint it takes to do a 370?

Just would like to say that my wife and I had a great time at the rendezvous. Met some great people and had a nice cruise aboard Limitless. Hope next year we will make it in our own boat.

Well had the boat trucked to her new home and blocked up last week. Already have some vinyl plank flooring samples to decide from as unlike regular laminate flooring it is waterproof. Also have ordered some fabric samples for the upholstery. Blasting and paint will be a spring project as I have too ...

We are Peter and Alice....the new owners of Alcan 370-Friendship. We hope to meet up with you all by noon on Aug.16, and will be arriving by car. See you all then!

Well I did it! Picking up "Friendship" in 2 - 3 weeks!

David thanks for the reply. I had one quote for sand blasting from the gunnel down for $1500. He said they use fine sand that wouldn't harm the aluminum but would leave texture for primer to adhere to. What are project Alcans going for these days? So I know if price is fair. I noticed the boat had n...

Have been following the forum for a while now, soaking in all the great info. I recently came across a 370 for sale and need some info in order to decide whether to make the purchase or not. The boat seems all original inside and both v6 motors I am told run. The exterior is another story with flaki...
