This post will sink like a stone. Edit: Now with picture!

Just watch, like an anchor into the deep.

Speaking of anchors, I just found a 1959 Plastyle boat with a running 1959 Scott motor for 100 bucks, got a restoration project now..

1. :::: glug, glub, glug :::::

I'm sorry. Having never drowned, I'm not sure what sound I'd make, but I'm also not a stone.

At least I tried............. :)

[Dave Reynolds]

2. Good try,

probably a reasonable facsimile.

3. That's cute!

[Redstone]

4. You bought that boat for $100?

Good deal. We'll expect pictures when the restoration's done.

6. Working on it,

got the "befores" in the camera now.

It's in such great shape to start with, mostly cosmetics and some corrosion of 46-year-old parts to deal with.

13. Damn Dave!

I'll give you $200 for it - no really I will. deal?

[Dave Reynolds]

14. Thanks, but nope,

I'll probably never get rid of it, it reminds me too much of a boat my grandfather had when I was a wee child.

Not to mention, it did not come with a trailer and is a pain in the ass to move right now.....:-)

5. Looks more like an alien spaceship or big bathtub...

:D

7. I'm a sucker for fins,

must be "Bat-boat" flashbacks...

[Redstone]

8. Everybody's a sucker for that kind of style;

when you're done restoring it and take it out on the water, I guarantee you're going to get tons of admiring compliments.

It's one DAMN cool-looking boat.

9. John Bolton's Employee Discipliner Device:

You know, I picked up the dispenser on my desk and it must weigh almost a pound. I would hate to be hit by the thing

[Dave Reynolds]

10. Has he been reported to have used such a thing?

We have a bunch of those around work, they could leave a *serious* dent.

[redqueen]

11. Stylin'!

That's one seriously cool lookin' boat, there.

[Dave Reynolds]

16. Of course, the brochure

always looks better than the real thing.

But I'm a happy camper.

[redqueen]

18. Well yeah, but still.

I miss the days when auto designers went for lines like that.

Now it seems they're all cookie-cutter cars or just plain weird.

:shrug:

Looking forward to the pics. :)

15. Good ones! /nt

[crispini]

17. $100 BUCKS?

Freakin cool.

Damn. I live less than a mile from a lake. Seems a shame not to have a boat....
