Boat Repair & Is there a boat scrap yard?
OK I actually have four questions here, I'm looking for a nice long term
project 5+ years and I was thinking about repairing a large boat in order to allow long periods on the lakes. I live on the great lakes so I'm looking for something that will be a live aboard for long periods of cruising. (Powered boat / not sail) Anyway I'd like to here some comments about the following ideas. 1) I have tons of experience in all kinds of trade so working with almost any material is not a problem. So what would you consider as a good boat to (restore / upgrade) should I look for fibre glass or steel. I've been leaning towards steel but no real reasons. Which one is better? 2) Is there such a thing as a boat scrap yard to find parts / motors etc. In Ontario? 3) Has anyone ever considered joining two hulls with a tunnel to get a larger live aboard? If I intend on using this on the great lakes and St. Lawrence what is the maximum width? Is there any chance of even going that wide? What's a good width so I can still bring it into a marina? 4) Taking money into consideration and the fact that I can do all of the labour myself what boat or layout would you go with. Lets dream |
