So now that the 1960 Alumacraft Queen Merrie is at home and safe in the garage, I figured I'd make a video going through the boat a little more and giving a bit of a tour of it. Basically going over the history of it, next steps forward, and droning on while I throw some more cool vintage 8mm film in :)

All of the 8mm footage was taken from my great grandfather's stash, of which I have hours upon hours digitized. This video was a great way to share some of that. Hope you guys enjoy, leave a comment! Sincerely, Brock, CEO of Retro Grade 😂
