Got a "FREE" boat
Everyone on here knows there's no such thing as a "free" boat, and this one is no exception. My buddy tells me he has this old boat in the woods by his house that he is goint to haul to the dump, do I want it?
Of course I do, I said. My wife says, "Let me get this straight, Clay is going to throw this boat in the dump and you want it?" YEP. So I went and looked at it....twice....and I still brought it home. I had to cut down a tree that had grown in the way to get it out of the woods. I had to put new wheels and tires on it, I doubled the value in just a few minutes. So its a 1968 Fabuglas Tempest with a 1962 (?) Mercury 700 (70 HP). It was last run in or around 2001. Other than a small soft spot in the floor it looks like it will clean up real nice, the bottom of the hull actually has a shine to it. First I will see if it will run, then worry about new seat covers and updating the "pulley" style steering.    I MUST BE NUTS!

Wasen't Fabuglas the one that pioneered the composite plastic and fiberglass? That stuff wouldn't bond to fiberglass or anything except their formulation.
It had the same feel as a combination of Bondo and fiberglass.
