"......from the pics, looked like all five were 'stinkpots'."

I also saw this report, and it reminded me of a fire that happened a
couple of years ago in a Cape Cod boat yard where dozens of mostly
wooden (and very expensive and classic) boats were stored and went up
in flames.............this article calls these boats "highly flammable
fiberglass hulls"...............hmmmm....which are more flammable:
wooden hulls or fiberglass hulls?

Also............the OP calls these "stink pots". Stink pots? I seem
to remember hearing an oldster using that term, should have asked him
what kind of boats "stink pots" are. Would the OP or someone else
reading this kindly explain what a "stink pot" is?

Thanks..........a.a.t.


It's a gosline powered power boat, usually helmed by someone who
resembles Rodney Dangerfield, with the same attitude...
