Searching and Determination Paid off Got Mate Matt his Boat
« on: September 10, 2008, 08:33:29 PM »
Being as my son (Matt) loves the water and wants to earn some more cash next year netting bunker, potting Kellies, etc. I have been searching high and low for several months, had quite a few almosts, but something always happened.

Well today was the day got an 18 ft 1985 Whaler with Tandum trailer, boat has an engine but it is shot.

Boat is a former Jersey City PD Rescue boat, she is solid. Going to need a lot of cosmetic work and elbow greese but I am real happy. TT^

Will be storing it at my buddies lot until Matt's Birthday on Halloween. t^

Sometimes things work, being at the right place at the right time slt

Nice halloween present Bob.  Good luck with her.

I got lots of great memories as a kid tooling around Barny bay in our 67 16' Nauset. Still wish we had it with that Mahogany CC.
