I should be done for the year. I've purchased four boats, and have kept the best two. I have motors for both; heck, I have EXTRA motors for both. Don't need any more anythings. Would have to struggle to find stuff I don't have.
That said, I'm still cruising Craig's list and there are a few listing that just poke me like a rock in my shoe.
One is a 14 tinboat with trailer which would probably sell for $200. It needs paint removal, maybe a transom, and the trailer is listed as "heavy duty," but really looks home-made. Guy states he's taken it to Canada three times.
Probably has. This boat has the look of a used-hard-put-up-wet fishing tool. It would require a lot of labor, but not a colossal amount of investment. But...then what? I'd have another 14ft fishing boat. I gots one of them.
A second listing is a 16 foot semi-v, hard to tell if it is glass or tin, but since it has imitation lapstrake sides, I'd bet it is fiberglass. Comes with trailer and what looks like a 5-6 hp evinrude and trailer. May go for around $400. So, figure some money for the motor, and general re-hab for the boat, but not a huge amount, and then...well, since I don't need a 16ftr, off it would go to market in the Spring.
But, jeez louise, what am I thinking?
I'm done. I got the boats I need, and extras galore, and yet...there's these temptations that the work they need I could do and boy-oh-boy, what a great boat(s) they would be.
I need therapy. This is just dumb.
The thing is...I LIKE fixing up the ravages of time on the boats.
:? :? :?
Am I alone in this, or are there enough of us to form a support group?
