Its really nice looking at everyone's nice (expensive) boats on the forum. However, anyone with a credit rating can purchase a new boat: it takes character to pilot an older craft. Also I'm somewhat whipped (or I have too many other expensive hobbies!?) so paying new price isn't in the cards.
I'm interested in starting a thread containing tips, comments, etc on restoring older fishing boats.
Some items for discussion:
1. Economically re-powering a vessel. Lease returns vs. brand new
2. Are there any boat wrecking yards in BC for cheap used parts.
3. Working with dry-rot wood.
4. What kind of personal flotation devise works best.
5. etc
Any interest?
