Howdy, folks! I kinda hate to post this right after Custom Skiffs posted his "I quit" notice, and I sincerely hope he is not truly quitting.
My situation is far less dire--I am simply getting out from under a restoration project that is beyond my means. Some advice received from this forum, in fact, convinced me that it is beyond my means, since I most certainly do not have the means to "do it right." My Hinckley Custom 36 is, however, a potentially wonderful boat, and I hope someone out there will be interested in her.
Photos can be seen for the time being at:
My Hinckley Custom 36--Yours for Free (http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~rirose/Hinckley_restore/index.htm)
I may have to move my website due to university computing reorganization; if so, I'll post an update.
If you are not interested but know someone who might be, please pass word of this boat along. It deserves love and attention. It comes with lots of cool hardware, including a boom furling system on the mainsail; Edson worm drive steering; all stainless wire rigging; a graymarine flathead 4; etc., etc. I may throw in the stainless steel, coal-fired cooking stove/oven, or I may try to sell it on the side to recoup some of my losses. Catch me on a good day.
Someone once commented that, from the pictures on the site, it looks as though the entire interior is gutted. Not so! Only the cockpit. There is a completely intact master cabin and head, hanging locker, galley table, etc. Maybe I'll add some more pictures if I get the time.
My email address is rirose@eden.rutgers.edu. Drop me a line!
Best,
Rick Rose
