What have I done? Bought a non aluminum boat!!!

[CBGale2]

I vowed to myself that I would never buy a boat that wasnt made out of aluminum and I have broken that promise. I dont know what I was thinking and didnt even think of the magnitude of my purchase till I got home. Pictures shortly, I hope you guys dont kick me out of the Starmada now.

Tsk tsk tsk Charlie, you ought to be ashamed fo yourself for going so low as to buy a non aluminum boat. Am thinking Charlie owes the Starmada a cool drink and a steak. Anyone think I am wrong on this one?

Yank the engine out, cut it up, haul it to the landfill. Basic course for all glassers.

You'll feel better in the morning.

You better start a resto thread for that one too Charlie. You are going to need some expert opinions as there is bound to be some rot in there somewhere....

Nope! You are getting sucked in! Read post #4 again, quick!

And yah, I am wearing the same jersey as Kelly. Steak and cold beverage would be very nice.

But the previous owner said the floors had a couple soft spots but the rest is fine and it had been covered outside for atleast 5 of the last 10 years after it sunk.

Anytime on the steaks and beverages buddy. We can do a floatation test on the new boat in the pool and see how many foam peanuts it takes to keep it floating.

I wish I had the picture......but years ago my friend's parents rented a house at the beach on the bayside with a boat slip. They didn't have a boat so they bought one like yours there Charlie and "moored" it in their slip. It was great.
