Heart broken
I've been vying for the past few months to buy an
1898 70' sidewheeler. Plans were to finish the reconstruction and make it into a vintage houseboat. It's less than a half mile from my house and I drive past it almost every day. I've been complimenting it for three years. It would have been perfect. The current owner has already rebuilt the wheels and installed two 100hp Gray Marine engines. But he hasn't done a thing to it in 4 years. I tracked him down and he's refusing to sell. I'm heart broken. S. |

Steel. I wanted to haul her and put her in my
driveway while we finished her. The ramp next door is only 12' wide, though. She's about 20'. Believe me, I'm going to keep after him. S. "Joe" wrote in message ups.com... : If you want it keep after him. : : Is it steel or wood? Lots O room...where you going to tie her up? : : Joe : |

There's a stack just aft of the pilot house.
She's got enough windage that she doesn't need sails. After all, look at Haggy's boat.
