[QUOTE="Kismet, post: 356391, member: 8516"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="spring new camera test shots for loading 010.jpg"]64948._xfImport[/ATTACH]Well, the Model A went down the road. Nice couple bought for their cottage and nieces and nephews. I added a trolling motor for the kids. Odd though, I could not have had a decent boat for sale at a lower price, even without charging for my labor. The welding and bearings had to be jobbed out, and that just took any profit out of the deal. As it was, put $75 more into it than I asked for it. You folks who build decks and cabinets must make substantial material investments, plus your expertise. Looks like if I do any more, it will have be a philanthropic venture, 'cuz I dam-sure aren't going to make any money out of it. :? Also, as the years go by, takes more to get the effort up. :) But it was neat bringing that old jewel back to the water. [/QUOTE]
