I knew I shoulda bought a glasser.....
ahh my bad eyes deceived me,,,I thought I could see a line of rivets alone the hull near the pin-stripe....just thought it was an amusing picture none the less lol
I like how there are a lot of boats around him, but not one HELPING him.
Must be the jerk of the Marina, lol
That right there is a happy tinny guy, staking claim to the running gear of another dead/sunken glasser.
Running through his mind:
#1 get it home ASAP
#2 pickle the engine
#3 remove engine and drive
#4 cut up the hull and throw it in the dumpster
#5 install running gear in my perfectly good 1970's tinny

A tinny owner would be wearing his PFD because of the leaky reevits. Forewarned is forearmed. I notice the lack of a bevy of bathing beauties bobbing in the vicinity. Must have been rescued by a tinny owner.
As an alternative there are some wily guys around here that will boast of having these silly little tin boats. Don't engage them, don't make eye-contact, don't even let them hand you their little religious pamphlet. Just walk away![]()
My $1000 tinnie from 1976 didn't leak when I bought it. After the full resto, it doesn't leak a drop now either. Not a SINGLE DROP.
I'm a glass guy as most of you know, but there is nothing wrong with the tinny's. I just perfer the quieter ride of glass.
iboats quote of the week.
Took a ride to the boneyard to scalp a few trailer items, every boat there was a glasser
The prize winner was the one with the plants growing out of the deck.
