Question:
I am looking for an old Sea Fishing boat project, in the Manzanita, Oregon
area.
We need something to work on for the winter, and use as a Flower outdoor
planter
Answer:
-It's a little further to the North (near Astoria), but it would make a
great planter. You'll have to do a little digging as it's settled into
the sand over time. Oh, you'll also need a rather large flatbed truck to
transport it, and possibly a little help getting it on the truck.
I believe it's called the Peter something or other. If anyone questions
your actions just tell them it's part of a relocation, and
beautification effort
-I just acquired "Grandpa's old fishing boat" which is my wife's description
of her grandfathers 92 Bayliner Trophy 2002 walkaround. Now before I get all
the Bayliner flack this poor old electrician has been using a 16 ft
Thunderbird Tri-hull for ten years for both salmon fishing in the ocean and
wakeboarding and kneeboarding on Trinity Lake. Repowering the Thunderbird
with a 1985 100hp Johnson last year was a real kick compared to the 85 hp
Merc I had worked on from day one!
Since my wife and I first started dating (married for two years now) I've
wanted this boat but waited until her grandpa was ready to sell his baby.
Dick and his wife Jean have taken this boat from Mexico to Alaska, towed
behind a moterhome, not on the water for the 13 years they have owned it.
It's a family boat forsure and I hope to have as many adventures with it as
they have had. Dick turned 80 last year and has some heath problems so he
can't maintain the boat much less operate it. Yes I plan on taking him
fishing as time and conditions allow as he and his wife live two hours north
of me in Brookings
