Scott Turner and his dad build them exactly the way the Grandfather did in the 1950’s using original 1950’s jigs and most of the tooling in the shop is from the original factory too. Amazing place to visit. They have a museum on site of a bunch of original 1940’s and 1950’s Aristocraft Boats from the 12′ Typhoon, Matador, up to the big cabin cruiser made by his grandfather Claude Turner. When I went to get my boat, Claude was still alive and had just turned 90. I was hoping to get Claude to autograph my boat for me but he was in poor health. The Aristocraft brand continues on with Claude’s son Bill and his so Scott. Great family and they make beautiful boats. Their boats are works of art that just happen to float.
