What hasn't been mentioned is buying it, stripping off the goodies, and
having a nice bonfire. I'm eyeballing boats in my neighborhood with the idea that it might be a cheap way to get a trailer. Roger http://home.insightbb.com/~derbyrm "floydo" wrote in message ups.com... Hello, I have recently found an old (1960's?) Penn Yan boat, I think about 21 ft. Under the false floor I can see that the ribs are rotting as there is 1/2" of standing water in the boat. It looks to me like the work to restore this and actually float it would be endless, though it is a real beauty. I've done some rough carpentry before, but never anything of this magnitude, and would not know where to start. I would like to know where I might get some comprehensive expertise on what this sort of restoration would entail, including the replacement of ribs and cedar stripping, and other possible alternatives for making the hull sound. I haven't bought the boat yet and am now leaning toward walking away, as the work seems pretty overwhelming. Thanks for any and all suggestions. Floydo. |
