Got a friend with a completely restored red one. Sure freaks out the drunks on houseboats at night when you beep the horn and flash the bright lights :funn:

I designed and made several plywood boats as a young-un and had one win an award. I cut down the weight and wrapped the whole thing in clear fiberglass - it looked like it was cut from the inside of a geode it glinted and shined so much in the sun!
QUOTE:Certainly a minimalist way to cruise
I love minimalism - boat camping is so cool - there are several small islands in the tennessee river that we would get there about dark and stay there all night cooking our catch - best times ever. Don't tell anyone at St Andrews State Rec Area (SASRA) but I've camped (illegally! :shock overnight on Shell Island! And I did it more than once! Really have to watch out for the giant spiders and huge rattlesnakes that wander the night! Of course, now that we have the Bayliner Cruiser (a.k.a the floating condo) we could just pull around to the playground and do the waterbed thing.

Rented a Grady White 19' CC in Sanibel once. One of the best riding boats ever. They know how to make em

They make them very well. Very heavy, but they'll last forever.

QUOTE from the boatreview above: "Outboards aren't the greatest boats for salt water fishing because the problem of keeping the fish out of the motors. The strong point of this design is that you can stand back there and get a much better view to help you keep the fish from taking the line into the lower units. But you'll note that this single engine boat has a motor well big enough for twin engines, so your walk around space back there is a bit limited, but generally good enough."
lordy what an idiot! any crew or guide worth lugging his weight along on the trip knows how to run the boat so as not to get the fish wound up in the props.

give me an armstrong deck and a pair of salty twins and the stern is a wide-open wonderful place big enough for two fat drunks to reel one in at the same time with room to spare and the fish will veritably jump into the boat! while this twit is standing on his head working on that inboard, I'll be dropping another fish into the cooler.
