First boat, Her final journey

Re: First boat, Her final journey

Adding a final note to bidding the great old Crosby goodbye.

I have to say that CL can be very useful.

Today I sold the last of the salvaged parts off the boat.

After all was said and done 170% of the original purchase price was generated by selling off the motor, trailer and all the misc. pieces parts and hardware.

Sometimes boats can pay for themselves.:joyous:

RIP osby!

Yes, parts can often add up to more then the purchase price.. always nice when that happens!

And the engine is still running strong!

It is nice, and I know you know all about parts.:grumpy::highly_amused: Hope that Merc 500 continues to run strong for you.:rockon:

Sawzall, The top half went in trash a week at a time, (basically free) bottom half cost $35 to drop in the dumpster. They wanted $120 to dump a complete boat. :noidea:
