Just thinking out loud, but maybe some kind of flooring threshold. You could probably put screw right through the threshold and carpet no glue, maybe just some carpet tape.

I probably wouldn't pay much for a boat covered in that stuff...

Or use them for slow moving on protected water like they were designed for...

Last summer there was a guy locally trying to sell half a canoe. He started at $175, then $150, $125, then he lingered at $100. He would relist it frequently with different titles that never mentioned the missing half. So, after clicking on these ads over the span of a month or two, I sent him...

Kickback while starting is the main issue the small engine guys warn about. I've started my lawnmower without the blade on before and there must not have been enough difference worth remembering, but if you're twisted around sideways on a boat seat pull starting at an awkward angle it might be...

There might be some info hidden under the camo paint job, but I don't think manufacturers were required to put any kind of identifiable info on their boats until after something like 1972. I think they keep track of the serial numbers (hull identification number, HIN) in order to fight theft...

Not a bad idea. Nobody else gives a dang about your stuff... except that meth addict down the street. :LOL2: Lock it up good.
