Spare, I know why you like those Yamahas, cause its all they have up there! Passed I bet 4 or 5 boat dealers and everything new was rigged with a yamaha 200 fourstroke.

Reel, if you ever want to sell that Float On trailer let me know.

I think I may have a problem. I presently have 3 Wellcrafts, Two V20's and a V18. And 3 V20 hulls, two Wellcrafts and a Chaparral 21. The Chaparral looks like what would result if a Wellcraft V20 and a Seacraft Seafari got it on. V20 hull, Seafari style cap and cuddy, but with a 3 piece windsheild instead of the 2 piece.

I'm gonna get some parts off this one and then put her back up for sale. Main things I'm needing are the bowrail, helm and cable, deck hinges, teak cuddy trim and sliding hatch. I know thats a lot of parts when you think of the stuff already removed before she came to me, but maybe if someone was gonna do something different; crazy cut down go fast, custom stretched V25, or a crab boat. LOL!

If anyone is interested from here I'll make you a deal and possibly include a trailer too if you need one.

Everyone should have a few extra boat trailers around ya know.

It was great to meet you...sounds like ya got plenty of fiberglass around...hope I can come visit some time and feast my eyes on that purdy one you told me about!!

Late to the fiesta again.. I just found this post again. I really appreciate you thinking about me. I have no interest in the rub rail. I appreciate the offer to no end, Reel and Bradford, but I am just not ready for a project or even collecting parts at this juncture. LOL!
I am going to coast with what I have and try and maintain my old stuff until I have time to use it properly.
I just hate that another hull may end up at the landfill.. Sucks that that motor popped on ya Reel.
Bradford, I got it bad, you got it worse.. way worse..

Don't worry Ridge, I'm too sentimental to take her to the dump. It's a sickness, I know.

Like I keep telling my wife, there are much worse addictions (than mine to my ol' Pipe Dream and two 1960s autos). Keep us in our toys and we'll be good boys. :-)
