Re: Is there an easy way...

Painted the thing does look like glass. I kinds like the engine-turned but the polished side look purdy.

Only 622 mi. one way for me. Come on, jig, keep Jb and me outta the fray.

I think this is a perfect example of why the SC mob needs a Tinny underground railroad (this is not intended as mocking or commentary of the normally referred to underground railroad, in any way...)

Maybe a Re-homing Tin philanthropic organization... :faint2: :lol:

Well, my B'day is less than 45 days away... so if JBC and GAB wanna pitch in and buy it for me, I'll go up there and pick it up so y'all won't have to have it delivered.

I 'preciate that, but I can't afford her right now... but if I could, I'd be all over that thing like a duck on a Junebug!

I just realized what this is all about!:blue:

Y'all just want to see me work myself to death and get all sweaty, dirty, and tired!!!... well it aint going to happen! I'm going to stay dry, clean, and refreshed!:watermelon:

Re: Is there an easy way...

Nope, you 'wanted' a project to test them new fangled theories & materials. This seemed a good platform for that

And I really wanted to taunt & torment you for a bit when I posted the 'looks like a glasser pix'

No, you just wanted to see me get dirty takin' all that paint off of that boat!


It does look like a glasser with that paint on it (sickening)... but that could be a good disguise, no one would ever want to steal an old fiberglass boat like that.:lol:

The only easy restoration would be writing a check to someone else to do it!!! There are ghost writers - maybe we could start a new profession - "ghost restorers"!

Re: Is there an easy way...

yeah, I can't tell you how easily I could get talked into paying someone else to do the dirty work (esp on the glass).... But, when I stand on my wallet, I'm often shorter---and never taller :grumpy:

It always comes down to money, Drat. If I had money I'd have a flotilla and the 40 acres with pole barn that JB talks about. But I don't. :grumpy:

Too easy...

Here's one to test out the Sears WeatherBeater on.

I bet you could buy it a lot cheaper then those spendy alyouminnieum Marinette fixer-uppers

Sweet! Dan: Do all the wooden beasts come w/ the free hook in the hull at the stern? Or is it optional?

It may just be the funky perspective of the pix, but the gunwale seems to sag too :facepalm:

Looks like the boat is weak and the trailer is too short... that's why they "Bet the Boat" in Vegas and it didn't matter if they lost.

Re: Is there an easy way...

That's the ticket! Wood boats are cheap and easy to bring back to life. Also sawdust isn't itchy and can be used in the compose pile. Iboats needs a termite emoticon. :spider::spider: - closest I found.
