    On glass boats one should glue and not screw, there was a whole thread on this very topic

    What was being attached with such emphasis? got a shot of the topsides? ... OUCH - the work of an angry wife/girlfriend?

    Found on another forum. Apparently owner had seats recovered and decided to save a few bucks and install them himself with some (what look like very large) drywall screws. Opposite side is the same! :p

    Did he screw through the upholstry and foam too???? - Has he realised what he done? or been out on the water in it? hehehe? - that will cost a pretty penny to fix...

    I suspect it'll be launched, go for a five-minute run without incident, then sit at the dock for a day with the bilge pump constantly on. Then the batteries will go flat. The owner will show up the next day, notice that his slip is empty, and phone in a stolen boat to the local cops....

    That poor fella must have sat down and cried when he realised what he´d done ! :(

    Still at least he wasnt made redundant like these folks below.

    thats nothing
    I once saw a hole street of houses accidentally built facing the wrong way

    the developer thought it would be advantageous to save a little wear and tear on the roads and curbs and decided to put em in last instead of first
    good plan eh

    thudpucker, - - Click on the <Go Advanced> button below the "message" text box, then click on the paper clip symbol and follow the lead, will even allow you to look through your own directories... select up to 5, then click on download or in this case upload then wait for it to be done then the screen changes requesting that you submit or something then another button or so to click on and lo-and-behold your big images are now neat thumbnails ready to click on if anyone wants to see the full size image... There are individual file size limits and extensions so check that out to ensure you are "within limits"....

    Thanks Thud - that image is elsewhere - about a year ago - a smuggler's boat... confiscated there, I understand, from other member research...

    Yeah its been around. I was actually looking for the photo of the huge Diesel being pulled by a truck. If I run across it I'll put it up. It's interesting to say the least.
