Re: field boats

Hello, Yes my boat is a 1956 Larson v bottom boat my grandpa had in his pasture for 7 years sitting there rotting. He ask me if I wanted it with title. It had all seats side boards rotted to just dirt. had holes all in it. I brought it up to my husband He said "is THAT THE BOAT?" I said yes is'nt she pretty! that was two years ago. Last summer we had her out every weekend and It has never let us down, even the 1956 7.5 engine. How do post photos? I would post before and after photos. serenity

Re: field boats

Now see Serenity has the idea. I just hate seeing those boats rotting in some field. Seems a shameful waste. Sorry Serenity, I can't help about the photo's. My own attempts have been an embarrassment, but someone will help you out.

I believe that would fall into the category of "Room Ornaments".... snick!<br /><br />Someone was clever with that idea though.

Re: field boats

I got me one o them there yard boats! Wife seen it along the road for sale cheap and had always wanted one for a flower bed. By that evening t was set in the yard. Over the next days I ripped non structural components out and propped it up a bit on it's side filled her with dirt. The wife painted it up nice and planted...I gotta say it looks rather nice. But wait...that's not all, hey ya cannot call it a collection if ya only have one piece of the set! I also have an old plow as well as a waggon axle and wheel flower beds. Wonder how long it will take to complete the "Set". Hey if it keeps momma happy...I'm happy. We Have decided that if we see anymore noice old farm implements that are priced right they will lickley end up in the collection.

Re: field boats

A little way from Cape Town, South Africa someone has had an ingenious idea for a resturaunt. The place is called "Die Strandloper" which directly translated means "The Beachcomber".<br /><br />The venue is "built" on sand dunes from flotsam and jetsam and they have used a multitude of old boats as decor, not to mention bouys bits of rope etc.<br /><br />Standard set menu of seafood only, all the food is prepared over open fires in full view of all the diners in three legged cast iron pots.<br /><br /> Have a look here to see the place <br /><br />Cheers<br />Andrew
