Now I have done an did it!!! LOL

[MTboatguy]

Well, went looking for parts today for my old Chrysler boat and ended up coming home with another child! Now, I think I may be sleeping on the couch for a while, but definitely think it was worth it!!!

of course I got the obligatory roll of the eyes, when I pulled into the driveway!

It is a 1960 Sea King Venture II with an Evinrude Big Twin 40 on it and the trailer to boot!

didn't cost me a dime out of my pocket, just a little horse trading and I have a new boat, no repair needed to the boat..

This link is what it looks like, only mine is green and not red, total cost was less than $100 bucks in trade..

For this I think sleeping on the couch will be okay!

For a deal like that, what's to complain about? There shouldn't be any couch for you! Can't beat that price.

Great find! I haven't finished my 60 Clipper yet but I've already got the "bug" and started looking. the wife is already complaining "I will not have my house looking like a used boat lot!" Women, sheesh! They just don't get it!

I have a freind who paints all his boats red,
whenever his wife asks if he bought another he just says..

"no this is that red one, remember?"

Why didn't I think of that?
I think I have a new idea now. THANKS!

Hey we're married to the same woman!

I know my wife does this to me with clothes, shoes, and jewelry. I can never argue it, because I truly don't ever know for sure.

Cool boat! Doesn't look like any Evinrude I've seen though.

As I said in my first post, the picture I linked is not the boat I traded for, it is one that is the same model, the one I got has a green top and the Evinrude big twin on it, the boat in the link is another restored boat, that seems to have a sea king motor on it, it has been raining cats, dogs an a few mice around here since I brought it home, but once is stops, I will get some pictures of the actual boat I picked up.

Thanks.
