I did a little digging and found the original bill of sale. I picked up the boat at Johnson's Boat Yard in Wickford RI on July 23, 1987. The price delivered including all the canvas was $12,786. I had hoped to have it earlier in the season but when I started looking, the boatyard had three in stock. By the time I finally called to tell them I would take it, they had sold all three and we had to order the boat. I remember stopping by to see how things were coming along and Bill Johnson, the owner of the yard seemed to be talking about everything but the boat. Finally he said, "look out the window" I did and there was the truck with my boat on it pulling into the yard.
