Tin tragedy, what not to do

[64osby]

Searching CL I've seen some pretty sad and disgusting mods to Tin boats.

Looks to be a hack bowectomy on what was an nice little boat.

OUCH. Need to find a real sale on TLC for the poor gal. I hate to say it, but a smelter may provide the only salvation.

It looks as bad as the trailer house behind it......dooh. But at least it looks like they have 2 pretty nice vehicles in the yard.

Dang that's sad. I love them old Feathercraft boats. Somebody hacked a classic up.

If 12 year old vehicles could be considered 'nice'?

I wonder if he woulda hacked it up if he would have realized it was worth quite a bit in its original form. Enough to sell and buy a proper fishing boat, no modifications needed...

^^^^ So true.

Being from the middle of nowhere might have affected the decision to modify the old classic.

Hohenwald is a city in and the county seat of Lewis County, Tennessee. The population was 3,754 at the 2000 census. The name "Hohenwald" is a German word that means "High Forest"
