Back to my original posting. I guess nobody knows of any boats that were
scuttled and left in a field somewhere. I'd like to get one about 50'LOA.
I just missed out on a deal last may on a 50' coastal cruiser, nice boat.
It had a new coat of bottom and hull paint, engine was end of life, no
interior, decking, or rigging. It would have been a big job to refit it.
If anyone knew of something similar I'd like to hear about it.
I think your freakin' nuts, but that's me. :)
Heading out for the evening tide and that world record striper.
I'll let you know how I caught it when I get back.
2nd that. Is still a few Ferro-cement boats setting in yards and fields
around the SF Bay area. I went fishing on Sunday. Couple of nice rock cod
and couple of nice ling cod. through back 3 legal size lings, and lost
either a large Ling or Halibut when the line got sliced by a tooth. I think
from the way it fought it was probably an 18-20# halli.
