A few of my fishing pals up here started collecting anything that once floated, including shrubbery growing out of the interiors. Going farm to farm, property to property offering to take away those old scows that have starting to become one with Mother Nature. Owners are more then happy to give them away, especially the wives, usually widows. I told them I didn't share in their vision 2 years ago but went along for the ride, no more Bars and Hotels and Casino's for me these days. They just sold a windshield from a late 60's era tri hull for $1000.00 CDN. I put a few adds for them on forums here in Ontario and the phone is ringing off the hook. A guy drove down from Toronto and bought a 70's era StarCraft steering wheel for 100 bucks complete with button, he was in tears he was so happy, he went through some shelves and bought another 200 bananas of wall hanger stuff. Those boats all came with trailers and they are built like Sherman Tanks under all that grunge. A pressure wash here and bunk here a roller there, a new jack post here 2 new tail lights at 20 a set and a gallon of paint and banggo you have a fast $500.00. He who laughs last laughs best. Free is a great deal. To get rid of the glass carcasses, Johnny Boy digs a hole along the tree line on the back 40 and buries them. It was supposed to keep us all busy over the long dark cold winter. Now they are too busy to go fishing????? We are all in our 60's. Who da thunk?
