Kind of late in the year, but price was right and couldn't pass this little one by.
I got rid of the 20' Tiberias with 4 banger volvo early this Spring. It was too much of a headache and the parking issues caused us not to use it.
The new toy is a 1987 15' Henry O Mckee w/a 40HP Mariner. I understand it was built before McKee sold out to Taylor. The boat is a bit of a tub, but we're excited about this one (I have boys 4 & 7). It is rated for 5 people and an 80 HP. It is a real solid boat and the dual console design works well for us (putting with the boys or a little fishing in crabbing nearby).
It should be a little easier to manuever the boat/trailer out of the drive (neighbors park along the road at the end of our drive) and I can even fit the rig in our awkward facing garage.
We have a little cleaning and painting to do. Going to take the boys for a spin this weekend and then probably put it up for the season and wrap up all the loose ends.
