So, what makes you like these old boats?

[jjjtronics]

For me, a boat, or a car, or a bike, is just A TOOL !!!
An older boat is simply easy to keep ready, fixable by simple methods, and easier going on the pocket. Also, you don`t have to suffer when scratches, bounces, spilled drinks or food, people stomach backfires, etc, etc, jejejejeje. I just enjoy the rides.
I remember one time, this guy asked me to install a GOOD fish finder on his Brand Spanking New Wellcraft. I told him, that for BEST depth operation, a good thru-hull transducer was the way to go, but that I needed to drill a big hole on his new boat. He said he could not handle it, that he would have to get a few drinks to relax. We planned for a saturday at 7:00am at his house, and when I arrived that day, he was so drunk already that he actually celebrated and enjoyed the moment !!! He kept the hull round piece I removed and later made a plaque from it for his office. jejejejeje
An older boat, no problem with drilling jejejejeje !!!!!
