got the new place and finally tucked my boats away...

[bob johnson]

had to stop my projects when i found I would need to move. looked around and found a place to buy, but it took forever to get done and I stopped all boat work in the mean time. But now i am moved in, ( not organized yet!!!) and have my three Starcrafts tucks away near where ill rebuild them... I think , since I have the land, ill keep all three!! I have the 22 ft Holiday V5, the 21 ft islander with the outboard bracket, and I have the 180SS.

Nice! I agree, everyone needs 3 boats outback. Is there room in the barn for working on one.

Looks like the barn will be put to good use. They will fit through the doors, won't they?

Looks like the barn needs work before the boats do.

Bob, Congrats on the new place! Better to have more land than you need than not enough. And remember, if you have any trouble getting any of them into the barn that's what god invented the saws-all for.

Nice collection of project boats. Looks like a Starcraft Hangar in the background. If only I had some land!

Looks good, the barn looks like its missing some side pieces, but as long as it's sound fix it up a lil and get to work!

Yah, I'd go at the barn first then use that totally awesome space for rebuilding the fleet you have there

Re: got the new place and finally tucked my boats away...

the "barn" was used for horses at one point, the two openings in the front there go into a room the full width of the barn, but only half its depth...there is a concrete block wall. those two openings were stalls for horses... they are only about 10 feet deep. on the other half of the bottom is a full width stall but the opening is on the right side...and it only about 7 feet wide!!
SOOOO no boats are going in the barn as it is now.... I may build an extension out from it, as well as an over hang on the side..

the barn has 220 V......so it can be a work area. I still have 2 115 hp ocean runners and a 150 hp Intruder to haul over to the property tomorrow.... fun fun fun.... got my 19 year old nephew to help.....we'll see how that goes!

i think the 180SS is the closest to getting back together, but it is the least desirable for my needs... it would be smart to do both the big boats in tandem.....



thanks guys
