I heard on the radio the other day there is gonna be a boat show at the Tallahassee Civic Center this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. For those that have been asking about new rigs.

---Wife says no for me, barely can afford the one we have.

this doesn't equate to affording, I like building my boat and think it's kewl, but I am still thinking about buying something.

Remember Break Out Another Thousand = BOAT

An example: I am working with a designer on a hybrid gheenoe. Got to pricing out plywood, epoxy, fiberglass, paint, etc. I could buy a used Gheenoe with motor, trolling motor, gas tank, etc. for less than I could buy a motor to put on the plywood gheenoe

I do believe you can save some money buying a used boat and giving it some TLC..Like this....

To this

Yes, it is the same boat and I could have had one for $500 from FishMasterson

Excellent job someone did transforming that rig.. If you have the time and minimal skills it is the best way to go $$$ wise..

Older seacrafts are good project boats but hard to find. I have thought about getting an older mako and fixing it up for offshore. Have to repower with a new engine. That is the major expense.
