Got Boat?

Nice looking rig. Is that a Honda 4 Stroke ?

Yep! Only 90 hp but it goes well with the Pro-sport 18' and sips gas.

Had enough of boats! As long as I was married there was always a Boat in my driveway! Oneday I had enough! So I suprised my ex hubby and docked it down the block from our house! I paid $$$$$ to do so but I just couldn't stand looking at it every morning , night and weekend. he didn't use it that much until I placed it in the water!
Now I ask Got Boat? My answer: No got time!
Talk to me: Got Ship? I got Milk!!!!!!

:scratch: Hmmmm.... Where's the motor???

I had been planning all spring and summer to bring my boat to SoWal, never made it and I just sold it Sunday, I'm bringing it down Saturday but not to play, the new owner is coming up from Venice, Fl. to meet me and pick it up, I'm glad it has a new home, but I miss it already, even though it's still in my driveway.

We have a 22' Four Winns Liberator that we take out on the Chain O'Lakes in Illinois almost every Saturday and Sunday. Also have a 16' canoe that we use once and awhile on the small lake by our house. Would love to have a sailboat - but my honey loves MORE POWER!!!! He wants to upgrade - as we have had the Liberator for 9 years - but I like not having a boat payment. Plus I keep reminding him about the car payment on his vette that is just a toy.

I'll let you paddle the kayak. I'd rather be 10 miles offshore and hooked onto a wahoo, or chasing Snook over the flats with the Pelican, or cruising the Intercoastal on the Bayliner. Did I ever mention that I LOVE WATER AND FISH (AND BOATS)?

I dunno Manuel. I think you should test it for a couple of days before you let the new owner have it. Ya know.... don't want to sell him a boat that doesn't work

Next spring I will start construction of
what I will call my St. Andrews Bay Boat.

For some quiet boating:

Kayaks are good, although I prefer those
with large open cockpits: not suitable for rolling.

I built this one:

Are those plywood boats you're building. They look great. That is a project I will take on some day. I've read alot about it and it looks like if you stick with it, the reward is great.

Illinois Breeze

Beautiful sailboat. We used to have a shoal draft Compac. We really loved it and used to live in FL so it was easy to drop in.
Where in IL? There are quite a few of us on this board that live in IL.

Some boats are easier to build than others:
This guy designs boats that are extremely
easy to build: All (4) of mine are of his design.

However, my St.Andrews Bay boat will
be by another designer:

Certainly a minimalist way to cruise (except when
compared to kayaking).
