I own an old boat (1947 Garwood mahogany planked all wood inboard engine), thus I am the OLDBOAT guy. And I am old, (white hair on face) and that makes me the OLD boatguy.
This is a story of a Restoration
I restored this boat from April 2006 to October 2008. You will need to go to the very bottom, October 2008, to find the biginning. See blog archive on the right side.
That is a NEAT boat, and it floats. Remarkable. Mark mentioned that he might be interested in doing something like that. Just a thought at the moment. Just a few days until he can say, "I did it, I retired."
Very cool old boat and cool guy! I am also very much a fan of classic boats. Though a friend recently got me hooked on cabin cruisers and ocean yachts. I don't own one yet but I'm planning to get one in the near future. I'm actually searching for affordable ocean yachts for sale and scouting for the best venue to make the deal. From my friend's advise, it is best to research on the web first and go to boat shows before making a business deal.
Thanks, Mark. I know nothing about yachts. My inland boating doesn't have room for large boats. But they are certainly spectacular. Good luck. And thanks for stopping by. Arlon
I'm from Idaho, born and raised on a farm. I spent 2 years in the Army during the cold war, and 5 years in Salt Lake City. The rest of my life has been in Idaho. I have 6 children, 21 grand children and 26 great-grand children, scattered in California, Texas, Colorado, Idaho, Utah and Arizona. I am the youngest of seven with only two of us left. I have strong family ties and I am a religious person with strong moral ethics. Like L'll Abner says, "I got scruples."
I have been an airplane pilot for fifty years, owned 1 plane and worked as a corporate pilot for 10 years. I have owned 6 boats, 22 cars and several dogs and cats. I was married to one beautiful lady for 42 years, 2 months and 5 days. Her generous heart got tired and she went to a better place in September of 2007. But this is not about sympathy. I am a happy person, never bored with several hobbies. I am also a computer adventure game addict.
