boat

wife says im only allowed one running and one project boat shame or I would have gone and got this one.

cant ya say its not a project....its an investment!!! lol. if something like that came up in my neck of the woods....id get it and deal with the grief from the wife. the last vintage woodend boat ive seen locally was a 14 foot basket case.....price reduced to 1800$ for just the boat....and it was nothing more than fire wood being sold as an antique .

If you keep your running boat at a storage facility or Marina, just buy the boat and pay extra to leave it with your other at the same place. If your wife asks, they just tell her they increased the rate.. It'll work for a little while anyway

Pulled this beauty home over a year ago, still a ways from its "former glory"

If anything it looks worse now with all the rotten wood removed.

west of lake O near moorehaven. Me and the wife are going to see the kid graduate boot camp in SC next week so im saving all my pennys to have a good time while we are there so she would really go nuts if I bought another boat this week. Still tempted.

Love those old molded plywood boats. The past couple years there have been quite a few of them showing up on Wis, graigslist.
