TEOTWAWKI Boat

I converted to sailboats for a while but went back to powerboats. I can still stay out but I can cruise home at 28 knots. I do like the idea of sail just don't have time to cruise at 4 knots. and I don't have to climb over a center case to get in the cabin either.

 

another one lost to the dark side.

 

I made an engine hoist. The old back thanks the old brain.

 

===========================
Good idea! And thanks for teaching me about Chester Nez-last of the Navajo code talkers from WWII who just died June 4th. Sorry to say I had to look it up......

Mmmmm... a poor planner. The fish must chase you, not you the fish

You can't save everyone I too like the unclutteredness of a motor and the speed. But sailing makes it different.

Hoyte, you had all your married life to train the wife. Now at your age you must deal with back issues as a result and come up with clever schemes to tote things around. I told you before, wiemen don't get lower back problems like we do, hence they should do the lifting and carrying of heavy stuff.

LOL, let that be a warning to all of you

 

Women can even carry enormous loads and their hands remain free for other tasks. They just wrap a thick circle of cloth around their head, and set a heavy loaded basket on top that nest!
It's the original using your head to work rather than manual labor.

 

So should I give it a girl's name, like, say, Hortense?

 

Mmmm, Hoyt did you drive so hard on the return trip you done cooked da mo--ta

 

Au contraire, mon ami, it is for the outboard motor. The truck runs like a champ. Miles per gallon averaged 21.7 towing the tdt.

 

In case you thought I had abandoned the project, I haven't.

 

Gracias, mi buen amigo.

Cool-good looking hull!

 

Thanks, Doug.

 

"In case you thought" (past tense), suggesting we may have but we're not thinking so any more, confirmed by "I haven't" to make sure nobody thinks so just in case. By now Hoyte, we know you're not going to stop, and after this one there will be more. So when finally you leave this world for the next we won't be surprised if you take a few projects along to finish there.

Now the only questions is, how far apart will those bulkheads end up, and where the heck is the other hull's bulkheads I know one fatten the stern some to limit rocker, but good grief, how little rocker will THAT stern have !
