no way...i spent 2 hours digging out the outdrive from under the ground..and it looks like the port axle hubs and part of the trailer frame is under earth...they kept pushing dirt and debris over the emabankment for so many years it finally started building up against the boat... gonna need the farmer to drag is about four feet out so i can cut the axel off and instal a new one.... i was chainsawing trees that rooted UNDER the trailer!!

after I dug out the outdrive.,.I noticed there is a set of earmuffs on it!!! he must have been running it after he parked it!!!!


I feel like an archeologist

We often say that a boat has good bones for a re-build. But we don't mean dino bones. :p

How long do you figure before she's disinterred?

Are you getting this one? It's a nice big boat, and looks less buried than your other gem!

Click to expand...

no, I have just seen it so many times driving by, wondering if it was fiberglass or aluminum...finally went to check today...

its too massive for my desires....just posted it because you guys like em!! ha ha

it doesnt matter how much stuff is growing...all the non aluminum stuff inside any older hull is getting replaced anyway....

the secret is getting aluminum and good rivets....and good paint is an added plus.....

Yikes probably take a fortune in new foam to keep it afloat. Big a giant project bu just might be a hidden jewel for someone.
