What's wrong with those photos?

Are you saying there's something wrong with Gilligan's dinghy.

Heard from a reliable source that he tried to re-marry a few of his ex's. But they realized he was just after his money.

Really nice historic build. Looks awesome.

Milestone achieved this morning. She's on her own permanent trailer. Rusty as it is.

For your consideration ...

Hey @Gilligan, got a question for ya since you are the local seer of all things water related and marine what not. Is the posted information in this picture of a newspaper actually even possible? If it is, why haven't we here in the US ever thought about doing the same thing?

Not meaning to hijack the thread, but didn't think it worthy of its own. Figured here was good enough since submarines are considered somewhat boats as well. : )

Skiff is home.

No, never a lime to be seen. Why ruin already bad beer with vitamin C?

You have a point, limes are for Capt Morgan on the rocks.

Water plumbing all done...

Trailer exhibits a severe lack of rust. I doubt it is Gilligan's, probably borrowed to use for the photo shoot.

I found this stuff called "patina in a can" that I'm going to spray on the trailer. Just so it fits in.

Love that old motor. Bet it sounds great when it hits the water.

Looks like you patinaĕd those first four stainless exhaust fittings.

Got the gas tank done today. Carb on that old engine is gravity feed only, so it was fun squeezing 5 gallons of capacity in to the small console above the engine.

Kept trying to figure out what was wrong with that third picture.


Then it struck me… No corona.
