Here are the pics of his boat as promised. Again, it's been sitting in the barn for 20 years. It's solid, just dirty. He used WEST System when he built it. Brand new sail, wooden blocks, oil lamps, and a godawful (depending on your opinion) 5hp British Seagull still in the crate. I hope this Imagestation thing works, and I apologize if the download time is terrible (somewhat of a newbie on posting pics)...

I'm not quite at the "giveaway" stage yet! Someone has actually expressed some interest in buying it. Will keep you guys posted on the situation if that doesn't pan out, however.

Don, I hope you find her a good home. It would be a shame keep such a lovely boat from fullfilling her destiny.

She looks lovely even now, but she's a bit far away I'm afraid. Did your dad name her, or have one picked out?
:cool:

I think he went through a couple of names. "Shellback" stands out in my memory, though.

Railmeat: Let me know if the sale falls through, I'd be interested, and I work in Howell.

Thanks, Milo
