6:40 Thanks for the kind words, fellas. It was good to be remembered after all this time. The fishing days are over as I sold the boat in October of 2013. I'm 72 now and it was getting to be a lot of work. I read the old fishing reports on my site quite often and miss the time sitting in the cockpit waiting for the bite of big ol' sturgeon. But I sure don't miss all the work involved. I have a new (to me) coach and still enjoy the trips around the country. But lately I catch myself perusing the boat ads on Craigslist. Lord help me... -Dale Fishwisher.com .... Gets addicting doesn't it brother? I'm always gawking at boats and motorcycles thinking I just need "that one there!" But it's nothing that more money can't cure.., ? You just cool it. When you get a few years older I may sell you Miss Milly. |

Some folks around here make very, very snide comments about those who may be temporarily, or permanentty, boatless. Thanks for the pic of your new boat. That's one hellofa boat. -- x ----Android NewsGroup Reader---- http://usenet.sinaapp.com/ |

Heh, 72 isn't too old. There are a lot of interesting deals on EBAY
also. I almost bid on a Bertram 35 the other day that had relatively new Cummins turbo diesels in it. Coukd have won the bid for somewhere less than $14,000. The engines alone were worth more than that. Sort of sorry I let it go but it would have added another unneeded complexity. ..... Man that would have been a good deal if the boat was any count at all. Is the boat market soft right now? |

I think part of the issue is the durability of fiberglass boats. If maintained even half way decently, they just seem to last forever. The systems start to go however, and it can cost a fortune to start replacing and upgrading - all of which is done at new boat pricing. |

Restoring anything usually costs way over a budget. And when you try to sell it you're lucky to get half your investment...if that! |

Restoring something that is unique and rare and sought after can provide substantial returns on investment. An old fiberglass boat rarely falls into that category. |
