sad to see it go...

i bought this as a complete wreck last fall to fix up and sell in the spring......fixed it up,but then got attatched to it.decided i wasn't in such a hurry to sell it afterall,as it's a good little exploring boat,so i never advertised it.problem with a small town is that theres no secrets and people knew it was here and know how i put things together,so a guy drives up into the driveway today and puts a big pile of hundred dollar bills in my hand....what was i to do?guess i have to build another one,or at least get my 15' 351w boat in the water-but it's more of a hotrod,not so practical for beachcombing.

this is the one i won't sell.......at least untill someone hands over too much to refuse.

you know im pretty sure you could move on to aircraft now...

boats look fantastic!

yeah, boats are fun. My dad has one that I was never able to get out to the lake. Now I live out here near nothing but the river, not as much fun.

 

[gwaii]

river's are great for skiing and generally having fun.done lots of boating on rivers large and small.just gotta make the most of what ya got!.....what i gots is the whole friggin pacific ocean,but i only got the guts to use a little bit of it.

 

[adsm08]

Well the rivers around here aren't great for skiing there is a dam, or a shallow spot, or something every few hundred yards, something to keep you from getting up to speed and staying there.

canoe?........but seriously,that's too bad.but i'm sure pa must have some good water close by....

 

[adsm08]

There is some good water around, its just not around me. I used to live 15 min from a state park with great water. Now it's over 2 hours away.

thought about that one myself many times(but that probably doesn't surprise anyone,does it)would be a hoot though.

I think you easily do better than the toybota, Gwaii.

I thought the happiest days in a boat owners life are the days they bring it home and the day it leaves
