In the boatyard

11/27/2010, Our Boatyard

With any boat you acquire there is always something that needs to repaired. When I got Titan, I knew her top was rotten inside and I knew that the rot was in the left side too. But turns out both sides and all around every window was rotten. SO..... off comes the top and my mechanic cut the inside all open and we are replacing with eastern ash instead of plywood and pine. So she will be good for the rest of her life. When we get the top done, I'll finish moving the engine and start the cabin remodel. More to come !

A boat owners best day?

Well they say one the two best days in a boat owners life is when he buys or sells the boat. We have done both. The sailboat "Rusten Aweigh" is sold, and we traded the 21' Starcraft "TimMan" fishing boat for a retired USN Motor Whaleboat to convert to a river cruiser for the Admiral and me. More details later..
