My free craigslist boat

A two fisted drinker.

Great job cleaning her up.

Two questions-

How do you get pizza delivery on the lake? I can't get anyone to deliver to my house.

How do you anchor it? don't see any cleats.

1) Well he had to hold my drink so I could take the pic
2) We had them deliver to the boat launch lol
3) I have the front ring on it so I tie the anchor to that

I never would have thought of using a blow boat that way, but it looks as though it works perfectly!
What would that big battery be used for originally? 8 hours of use is awesome.

 

[mmetzger1028]

4D, 6D and 8D batteries are mainly used for Cranes, Heavy machinery, but sometimes large RV's and boats as well. They aren't cheap, luckily I found this one for $50 on CL otherwise would have been around $300-$600

Nice job ... sailboat hulls aren't always known for being spacious, but yours worked out nicely. The one shot of the interior does look nice. Did you remove the swing keel or are you still carrying the ballast?

I bet you are king of that electric only lake...

Sailboat hulls are great for electric motors as they are minimum drag designs

It has a 400lbs drop keel that I left in there. Pretty sure without it the boat would be really unstable. I'll drop the keel when we are anchored and walking around the boat.

Yeah, the boat is 18' but the little cabin is quite large. I actually modified it a bit. Hard to explain, but toward the front where the bed was, it was all raised about 10 inches higher than the bench seats. So I cut it all down to the same height which made it much more useable. It very comfortably fits 4-5 people in there to eat ect.

Took her out for a morning coffee ride.

Looks fantastic! Your last sunrise pic just became my computer's background image.

Went on on Lake Union this weekend. It was soooooo beautiful! Shame on any of you Seattle boat owners that weren't out in this amazing weather!
