Rusty boats and rustier trailers

[GURPS]

I could have the engines for 5K each in running condition.

That would have been nice ......

30k for a complete GAA is a tad high


I ran the GAA through Desktop Dyno for a guy from HAMB.

Did you break a bottle of corona over the bow?

Nope. But I managed to pour about a pint of the blue paint down one pant leg and boot and all over my hands and one arm. They started calling me "Poppa Smurf"..

That's right purty.

She is a beauty. I'm a sucker for classic hull lines. They got rid of the "barrel stern" a few years after this '62 and went with the "box" or "concave box". sterns seen on most sport fishing boats since.

In light of these troubling times, may I ask where are the carronade and swivel guns?

Not that I am superstitious or anything (typing as I toss a pinch of salt over my left shoulder), but I still get the creeps with the name. Will you be sticking with it...?

Isn't it bad luck to rename a boat?

Probably not. She's a Federally Documented vessel and a name change is a bigger deal with that.

She's actually not the 4th "Jinx" She was original owner's 4th boat and he hoped would be his last. He bought her new in '62 and she was indeed his last boat. Made many trips up and down the East coast and to the Bahamas, and passed away in 2002.

It is unless you go through the "official ceremony". I've been to a couple...was fun.
