search vessel brokers for STEEL SHRIMPER. you can still find some
GREAT ten year old 60'-80' steel gulf shrimpers for under 150K . these
are 750,000+ boats new. why screw around with plastic pleaseure boats
when ya can have one of those bad boys for so cheep. take to Reedsport
or Toledo (up the river from Newport) for haul out. they work on those
all the time. LOTS of space an dif ur hand with a torch and welder
even more better. Remodel it!
