Gee Whiz 12Footer, that thing sit submerged for a year? I thought my boat was a mess. The boat doesn't look that old to be in that shape. Why don't you rig a tarp over it and keep the six pack in the fridge. You might get it done b4 winter sets in.Originally posted by 12Footer:<br /> It's in tiny pieces, and it's "drying-out" over the hot wet Summer months...Too hot to werk on, and I'm too poor (off-season). <br /><br /><br />Click here to see "it"
Wifey&I had plans to pack-up the truck, grab the dawgie , and head for Miami this weekend. She has never seen the home I was raised in, and I was curiuous as to whethert it still stood, or was leveled for a cigar stand.<br />Then on my way to werk yestidy, the stinkin 'check engine' indicator popped-on. It figures. All last month, it was "water pump this" and "well that".... Now that we cleared that train wreck,allong comes another. So much for planz, huh?<br />There is something special to be said for spontaneity.Originally posted by wajajaja:<br /> DAY IS DONE, AND SO IS THE WEEK, NOW TO GET OUT AND BOAT.
No, it's just in "mid-repair" so to speak. It is a Bayliner, so that should explain the condition of the wood that has been ripped-out of it (coupled with gross neglact , of course).<br />I did place a waterproof cover over it for the Summer, and have saturated all exposed wood that still exists with antifreeze (a superb pretreetment btw).. In a way, I cannot wait for Fall, when us Floridians are again safe to venture outside, and do stuff that requires raising our body-core temperatures lol.<br />She will be transformed into the ULTIMATE Caloosahatchee River Rat by next Spring or Summer.Originally posted by Boomyal:<br />Gee Whiz 12Footer, that thing sit submerged for a year?
