Thanks. If all else fails used tires, cinder blocks and carpet samples are all you need to rack a boat.

My budget is nil. As ZTW hinted earlier in this case I know very well how much a "restoration" or mere ownership could cost but I am practicing heavy self discipline.

«You better get your darkpuppet out.»

says it all I think...

Yarrrrrrrrrrrr, looks like tis going to be too big a project.

-It's 20' long 7' wide, holds 18 people, fibreglass built 1965
-I'd have to tow it from the far west of hamilton to the east side
-drag it ashore (assuming it survived the tow)
-strip it of everything rotten
-truck the hull to my house
-spend a couple years fixing

Here she be in all her glory:







Thanks to whoever said: "you just sold a project bike, why get a even bigger project?"

yeah, that thing needs a lot of work. :huh: :blink:

Yarr, send her back. Tis not seaworthy, youll need to turbo the water pumps cause youll be taking on water, Aye captain, ya can't even drink on it(legally) unless ya put a porta-potty on it. I got a 50 Johnson i can sell ya for the powerplant

Where's the subwoofer? :o

I thought you said 'lifeboat', not 'death trap'!... it would make for a fun project tho.

So typical.
