I had a small Scout Center Console ... 19.5' if I remember correctly.
Very nice boat, well built, no wood anywhere, high end hardware.
Fit and finish was excellent.

I had it stored at a rack storage facility in Florida and some rodents
got in it and chewed a bunch of wiring up. Then the storage place went
belly-up and everything in it was frozen by their bank until the
bankruptcy proceedings were completed. We had sold the houses in
Florida and I wanted to tow it back to MA. Took some doing but I
sneaked into the place, hooked the trailer up to my truck and hauled
it out of there with the owner of the place jumping up and down and
hollering at me.



You are lucky he wasn't standing his ground, or Mrs. Luddite could have
been an unmerry widow.


Richard had more sense than to attack the owner!
