My New Boat
I need something to do from January to March, and I can only tie so many rigs. I found this beut on Craigslist for $100.00, and couldn't resist
  Its a litle under 11ft and is in pretty good shape besides some minor wood rot around the oar locks. I figure I can replace a few boards, add some fishing customazations, sand her down and make a discion on paint, new rails, add a 9hp engine and I will have the perfect skiff for the bay, for squidding in the spring, Flukeing in the summer, and chasing blue fish in the fall!! besides, my daughter loves boats and fishing (she is only 3, but she is already addicted ;D), and this is something I will be able to enjoy with her ;).

Re: My New Boat
That's a good find Sean.
I found a very good buy on a skiff myself just recently. I'll post some pics later. 8)

Re: My New Boat
Very nice little boat. I spent a lot of time on a boat a lot like that fishing for flounder with a drop line. Seemed like you could go out in the harbor then and catch 5 or 6 keepers within an hour or so. Boat looks to be in great shape and should not take much to make it look really nice. There's nothing quite like a good old wooden boat with a fresh coat of paint.

Re: My New Boat
Smokin Deal CB!! You could turn that over and make 2k easy. Those amesbury skiffs are pretty desirable little boats.
Sean - You didn't do to badly either!! I grew with a boat just like that one . . . Of course I had to move it around with oars.
