M.B.S.- Loose two add one! Please Help!!!


That?s right people M.B.S. Has set in on me big time this year. Started the year off with one (Grady White) over the first 6 months added four. Stripped two and sent them on their way. Left with Three.

Now I have just added another one. Just like all the others this one was free as wall 1994 Boston Whaler "Rage 15". Need to replace the motor in this one but the over all condition is an 8 out of 10. To good of a deal to pass up.

Now that I have my small CC I've decided to pass the 17' MFG on to my Father it a good little boat and will be his first.

But I'm afraid I may have just passed M.B.S. on to another person.

It's not a syndrome, it's a way of life.

I understand. I have been spending too much time on my up-graded lake boat a 1990 Tracker 17' deep vee. My real boat is a 85 skippy 20' open, the other lake boat is a 14' plastic Sears Gamefisher. Then there is the yak, and the blow boat. It's a 6' tender for those rare camping trips to the island.
Yea MBS, but if I can only get the Tracker up to speed, the Gamefisher will be for sale. Maybe Monday! Maybe not!

OH I've pass IBoats on to my dad. I know he's been surfing around here but will take some time before he posts.

A free Boston Whaler was way too good of a deal to pass up. Especially the condition this one is in. (An 8 out of 10).

I've already replied to a FREE tri-hull with the floor and every thing else stripped from the inside, But it has a running 89 115HP Johnson V4 on the back of it. That would be the motor I need so this project appears to be staying on the cheap.

Now I need to plan to scrap another hull so that?s $150.00 to ad to the over all cost.

So the list docked in my port pavement are:

1978 23' Grady White "overnighter" 350 I/O
1993 12' Alum Star Craft w/ 1993 15hp Mercury
1963 17' MFG "Westfield Custom" W/ 1963 40HP Evinrude Big Twin (now owned by my Father)
1994 15' Boston Whaler "Rage 15" 115hp OMC TurboJet
1989 Kawasaki TS 650 Jet Ski
