An old optimist style pram for $140, all mahogany and marine ply.  It was covered with epoxy, which is starting to flake off.  A few dings on the rubrail, otherwise in prime condition.  I sanded the bottom this afternoon and put a coat of paint on it.  Its a shame to cover it but I want a practical boat, not a beauty queen.

Somebody's boatbuilding master work, many years ago. 

I'm getting it registered to use my 2hp Evinrude on it.  Should be a nice harbor dinghy.

Congrats!

  Pictures would do for this thread what milk does for Oreos.   ;D
Satisfaction is wanting what you already have.

Any sail boat regardless of size is a potential world cruiser, but a power boat is nothing more than a big expense at the next fuel dock

I was going to suggest the same but then remembered that the gallery is still not up :(
