[QUOTE="satx78247, post: 361287, member: 11019"] Dr. Nip & ALL, What UPSETS me is how many genuinely RARE boats/motors/trailers are "recycled" for scrap metal & that cannot ever be replaced. Just this week (I've been quite "stove-up" for several days & haven't been "out & about".), I could not get out to PICK-UP "for pocket change" a really RARE & Texas-built 17ft "utility runabout", that was built on "private commission" for a well-to-do fellow from Houston in 1957. - It had a pair of 1957 Johnson Javelins in "fair condition" & it was on a Gator trailer (that only needed tires, cleaning & painting). I said "was", inasmuch as I found out Saturday PM that the entire rig was sold to a "recycler" & "cut up" for scrap aluminum/iron. = That event made me nearly "physically ill", as this was probably the LAST surviving boat, by a "widely celebrated" Texas boat designer/custom builder. yours, satx [/QUOTE]
