That’s like having 10 wiives.....Only five? ;-)
16' Carolina skiff with 25HP - running and on the boat lift at the end of the pier .
32' Marinette flybridge cruiser - running and just had bottom done and tanks filled.
41' Hatteras SF Convertible - should be running in another week or so and back overboard. Needed fuel system work and fresh bottom paint.
17' Champ XVII - very rare (1972) performance boat, built in Miami by a friend of Don Aronows. 500HP Holman Moody 428 and a Berkeley 12JG jet with drag intake setup is ready to go in the hull as soon as we finish hull restoration
16' Donzi Sweet 16 - Original Holman Moody 302 boat, 1973. In beautiful shape except for the transom wood finally giving up. Need to replace that..outdrive getting a little too loose on the transom ans some leaks started.
20' ProLine center console, 1984- the original Evinrude 85HP finally gave up a piston and only running on 3 cylinders. New Yamaha 115HP going on it in a few weeks.
18' Woodson Center Console - daughter hit a submerged log last fall that ate the lower gear. Wanted to replace that 150HP Johnson gas hog anyway...she's getting a new 70HP Yamaha since we don't ski behind it any more...
16' Carlson Glastron CV-16 - 1972 classic runabout. Freshly rebuilt Volvo B20 AQ130 engine and 270 outdrive ready to go..but we need to wet sand and clear coat the hull first.
Sailboats:
18' Hobie Cat
16' Rebel
13' Rhodes Robin
Funny thing...all of the above, except for the Hatteras and Marinette are sitting on nice galvanized trailers, all in perfect condition. ;-p The two big boats live in covered slips at local marina.
Cheaper. And they never complain. ;-pThat’s like having 10 wiives.....
It’s amazing the different “water craft” I see living next to Point Lookout State Park. I don’t even know who dreams this stuff up.......Definitely want to avoid this:

Nice work.I have 4 boats. Two newer ones, a 24 Ft Sweetwater pontoon and an 18 Ft skiff. But my loves are my 1958 Lonestar refurbished by me and an in work 16 Ft 1955-57 DuraCraft twin cockpit (splash date TBD).

We used to sit at Quade's and watch the fluster cluck. Some people shouldn't be allowed to own boats. Watched a bunch from DC try to load on an Easy Loader trailer with all but about 6 feet of the trailer under water. They couldn't figure out why it floated back and forth, but wouldn't make contact with the rollers. I felt like telling them they had to wait for the tide to go out.One of our favorite sources of entertainment is to stop by the Piney Point boat launch park on a holiday weekend and watch the show. ;-p
