A cursory search disclosed a 65 foot steel offshore lobster. I don't
think it's very Zimmerman like. Maybe longliner like. I am going to
imagine I wrote a check for the 200 000. If I lived in Maine, not
Iowa, I really would buy a fair sized lobster. Find some guys and send
them out on shares. There is a 20 footer for sale for $7500, but that
is a bit small. On a slightly related note, there is a used 19 foot
Boston Whaler for 35 000. An outboard. Those people are obviously
nuts. Buys like my two grand 22 foot aluminum sterndrive are not
particularly scarce. There are going to be a bunch of unemployed boat
owners. Maybe even an affordable 35 foot Zimmerman like Lobster. Or
ask Zimmerman to build a lobster like yacht. Whatever.

2 grand aluminum's are at a premium, unless it is really thin aluminum.
There was a rash of stolen northwest alumium jetboats this year. Scrap
value of $4k

Interesting you mention that - it had been happening around here -
aluminum boats stolen (if they were portable) and scrapped.

Not so much anymore, but for a while there, even the aluminum canoes
up at the Y camp were stored inside instead of just on the beach.
