I was surprised that you passed on that '72 Schuster before I bought it...
Don't want that big of a project; no motor and all.
I'm looking at something else right now but don't think I'll get it for what I can pay; it needs works but can be put in the water now.
My situation is a long standing desire to get back to the river on a regular basis like I did in the 80's; I always thought my kids would be expert skiers at a young age but by the time they came along the finances never allowed for a boat (I still have my ski and all other needed equipment); the past couple seasons it really got to me so I've been periodically shopping since; problem is, with the finances as they are, I have to stumble into something that doesn't cause too big an issue with the wife.
You need a support group because of too many boats; I need a support group because I want one boat but can't get it :-(
