Well, it's finally finished and it looks great. In the last

Lou takes it out and sea trials it with a Yamaha 50, runs great.

It's now listed for sale on EBAY (without outboard), and
bidding is up
to $17,000 as we speak.

I'd like to see it with a small center console and helm seat
but then
it wouldn't be a work boat. It's too pretty for hauling crab
pots or
oyster tonging in any case.


It's nice but I would rather have this:

My $45,000 bid didn't do it and I would have been surprised if
it did!


I remember the Sunday mornings we'd be awakened by the noise of a
pair
of airboats driven by assholes tearing up the marshlands along the
ICW...and I mean "tearing up." I'm sure you would have been among
them,
given the opportunity. Their persona non grata status was made
official
somehow as a result of excessive noise. I was hopeful their
running over
an oyster bed might perforate the bottoms of their boats but,
alas, as
far as I know, it didn't happen.

Why do you find it necessary to be so assholish? Do you think
that's endearing to someone?

You write a paragraph like the above, assholish, and then add a
paragraph like below. I suppose the
paragraph below is to show that you're 'one of the guys'. But,
when I read it I see 'bull****'
written all over the last few sentences.

This company:

http://stur-deeboat.com/amesbury-dory/

makes very nice dory style small boats that can be equipped with
seats
and a console. My dad bought and sold dozens and dozens of these
boats
when they were made of wood. We knew the original owner, who died
a few
years ago. I crossed LI Sound in one of these boats with a 15 hp
Evinrude on the stern. I think I was about 10 or 11, something like
that. Straight over to Port Jeff.

Bullahit.Sounds like another Cape Horn story. Did you get a
fireboat welcome at Port Jeff?


It's not my fault you spent your childhood shooting tree rats so you
could have dinner at night.

As for Port Jeff, it was about 12 miles max from our beach cottage. In
that range, maybe a bit less. You could see where to go because there
were large smokestacks just east of the harbor, and if you steered
just
a hair west of them, you'd end up in Port Jefferson. The harbor
entrance
was really small, so once you got over to long island, you'd have to
search a bit.

But, of course, you didn't do much boating as a kid.

And I don't have to make up kid stories in the hopes of getting
attention.


Port Jeff from Milford was an easy trip on a decent day, not much
farther than the western side of the eastern shore from Solomons. Of
course, you wouldn't know that...you had to hunt squirrels for dinner.

Should of gone around LI to meet this guy, He crossed the Atlantic
ocean with a outboard powered boat, Setting a world record.

That story is strangely familiar. :-)



Different decades, different kinds of outboard boats.
