I think they got tired of fixing/filling all the cracks around the plywood bustle and around the rest of this 'custom' boat, so rather than continue repainting it weekly, they decided to just leave it in primer! :D

Yes. T. Boone Pickens, one of the wealthiest men in the world spoke at our local college last year.

He said he would trade places with any of the students in the room. He gets their youth and they can have his money.

He gave the same speech in 2005 and still no takers.

I've heard about a bunch of headaches this project could bring. Not just finding parts, cleaning things up, and putting this boat back together.

As they say on Shark Tank……"for that reason, I'm out"

I'm pretty sure Statement had that boat for sale last year, the MTI rear seat is a give away. It just needed motors then if I remember corretly.

So many turn key options, so little time. . . .

So little money is the real problem here. Lol

Not interested though.

It does sound good.
