Re: Any idea what this is?

i keep hearing you say is it worth it?

what do you mean?.....is it worth it to fix and sell...no... if you just want to fix a boat.....well....that one will do.

but after you spend all your left over time and materials on that hull.......you are still gonna need to drop a grand on a motor.......unless you were gonna use oar locks !

oh.......after all that.......were you going to buy a trailer or wait for the next flood to float it?

i hope this doesnt sound harsh.......(it really sux not having the emotions on the forum to work with) this post is meant to sound humorous.

im just sayin' you are gonna have to spend 1500 AFTER you fix it just to run it !.....
the boat is worth 700-1000 with a motor and trailer in running condition.


oops!,

Click "Go Advanced", and the emoticons are right where they used to be;).


SBL,

Your grammer and punctuation has indeed improved a lot:). I think I can safely say that we haven't been beating you up over grammer, punctuation, and spelling because we're all sticklers for proper writing and will tolerate no less. We put a lot of thought into the responses we give. When we have to figure out what someone's trying to say, that makes it more difficult. It's kinda frustrating when someone wants well thought out solutions, but they don't take the time to present well thought out questions. It's obvious that you've been working on that. You're doing well SBL. You're starting to ask well thought out and meaningful questions... Thank you:D.

... Now where are some pictures of Li'l Red:confused: We'd love to see the tear-out you're working on. We want to see the stringers and transom. You'll start getting some really valuable input as soon as you post some. Explain what you want us to focus on in each picture. You can circle parts of pictures, or draw arrows pointing to specific parts of pictures. Let's go Buddy;)!!! Help us to help you more:D...

SBL--that boat thats been in the yard since you were a kid looks rotted as rotted can be--somebody said use it as a flower planter box.
I don't want to sound harsh but spend your time & money on your Lil Red boat. I'm sure there are some improvements or accessories you would like to have. I hear gas will be going up too.
We are all just trying to help you out.
Hey- Jon Boats can be fun too.
