That is a totally awesome boat! Don't scrap that gem. Even doing a little at a time will get it done.

lol @ brewern . Sorry i'm not very good with a computer , but i am making progress . The song was longer than the slide show and my daughter was a huge help with the video production , as i was doing good to take the pictures with her camera ....solo , hahaha ,However , i would definately consider avoiding a scrap yard , persay somoene could give the old vessel the attention it needs ,as i know it has many , many years of fun left in it .

Dang, DLB, that is such a rare gem around here. Please dont bail out on her. You would be doing such a great service to the community to keep her alive. She is an amazing piece of art and craftmanship that it would be a shame to lose her.

I will second that notion but add that I will bring the cash and take that piece of scrap off your hands with or without the trailer. :)

You'll make more dough selling than scrapping. Plus it's a lot less work as you don't have to gut the boat.
