Reply:Wow, that's great! I will have to look you up next summer and do a little fishin in your area so I can see it up close. Back when I was an active diver I was looking all over for a used steel boat. But they were either too big or too much money. I didn't want anything fancy cause of the weight belts and tanks being bounced around. You know, maintenance free. Weld on a bbq'r and take the family out for a day trip and if we drop a cigar, oh well. Then I did quite a bit of research on building one, but all the plans were for real fancy stuff. But I would still be interested in taking on a boat project."Where's Stick man????????" - 7A749"SHHHHHH!! I sent him over to snag that MIC-4 while tbone wasn't looking!" - duaneb55"I have bought a few of Tbone's things unlike Stick-Man who helps himself" - TozziWelding"Stick-man"
Reply:That is a really nice lookin' steel boat!! She looks like you've maintained her well for 51 yrs. That's somethin' to be really proud of!! Am I correct in assuming it's an inboard drive?                                                                MikeOl' Stonebreaker  "Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes"Hobart G-213 portableMiller 175 migMiller thunderbolt ac/dc stick Victor O/A setupMakita chop saw
