1957 Johnson Seahorse 2 cylinder, 2 cycle, 3hp outboard.
Cost: Ten bucks. And it started right up on the third pull.
It looks like this except it's burgundy with white trim:

Should push my Mutineer out into the wind nicely.
-
Where do you feed coal into it?
-
Right between your asscheeks, mate. Right between your asscheeks.
-
Still no pussy yet?
-
*sigh* no.
-
Right between your asscheeks, mate. Right between your asscheeks.
I dont shit diamonds for just anyone, bub...
-
Finey fine fine. We'll just truck right on down I-10 and NOT stop in New Orleans...
-
*clenches asscheeks, squeezed out diamonds*
-
Mosh is a Kegel master.
-
That's what I thought.
-
He Mr Shine, he DIAMOND
-
Diamond studs in peeps genitals,
diamondS in other peeps assholes.
It's all good.
-
Yo, lets get this right, Im the only one who shits diamonds around here. I gotta hide my riches somewhere!
-
Damn, is that where I got all the scratches on my shaft?
-
Yeah but you screamed like a girl when one of them poked you in your dickhole.
I spit rubys outta my box, that's why you swallowed a few
-
No I meant my driveshaft. I had to park my truck in your asshole to keep the hoodlums of America Street from vandalizing it.
I'm sure you felt nothing.
-
old man, isn't there someone you know with a field or something who would let you stash a dozen boats under tarp for 3-4 years?
-
Yeah don't I wish. I'm gonna look at another Catalina pocket yacht on Saturday, just like the blue one I'm working on. Which, by the way, is pretty much a stripped fiberglass hull almost ready for a coat of epoxy and then some paint.
-
I'm serious about it. Go online, find some guy who's got land that's not being used and offer him 25% of any profit 5 years from now. You split disposal costs if required. Maybe I'm missing something here...?
-
I've giving it thought. Thanks for the encouragement.
-
Hell, if the deal needs sweetening you can fix a wall or get them a boat too
-
Right now yard space is running about $80/mo per boat. It's pretty common knowledge. But I've been kicking around an idea.
What if I were to set up a non-profit and take boats as donations. Rehab and refit them, sell them at reduced prices so that ANYONE can afford them, pay myself an honest salary, and give the rest of the money to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation?
That way I get to do something I love, get paid to do it, help get other people enthused about sailing and help the local watershed.
-
I'm not seeing the disadvantage to any of that. You'd also become something of a legend in the yachting community. Do it!
-
My family has plenty of unused land, but it's in the mountains of WV and comes with a meddling asshole of a great uncle.
Your plan should work well as long as there is no Cash-for-Salty Dogs program.
-
I keep reading the title as "Zoomie's scare of the week"
-
If there's a structure where you can pass costs/risk onto another entity or event the city then it's a great idea.
1. Repair the boats and sell them to a charity which you run.
2. The city pays your charity a minimal fee to manage and store the boats, and take disadvantaged children sailing
3. The money you get from this goes to a separate entity where you can renovate and sell boats on contract, at your own pace.
That sorta thing
-
The thing is, the largest possessor of abandoned boats along the bay are MARINAS. People not only just walk away from their storage fees, sometimes they just dump the boats in the storage yards under cover of darkness. And it costs the owners several thousand dollars per unit to have them crushed and hauled away. So they would welcome a way to get rid of them at no cost as well as give me a place to work on them. I've talked to 4 marina owners and they have at least 4 boats they want gone. And there are 200 marinas in Maryland.
The problem is that without proof of ownership you can't register them, and without registration you can't legally put them in the water.
I'll work it out, give me time.
-
If present ships can't be retitled from scratch, you could at least try and convince the marinas to start informing their customers that there is a charity which will accept those they would otherwise abandon.

Nice idea, Nick. But we have this little thing called the RICO. So basically I could face federal prosecution for circumventing taxation and money laundering under RICO as well as hiding it all behind the guise of a non-profit organization.
An non-profit is basically a corporation with officers and a business plan, that makes money, but it is backed up by a board of trustees that decides how to spend the money.
So with your idea I go to jail for organized crime, and with the governments way I end up shooting 6 old guys who won't pay me.
So as I said, I just have to work on this a bit.

Balor if you owed someone $12,000 that you had no intention of paying, would you take their call?
Well you would, just to taunt them, but that's you.
It's a mishmash of marine salvage, corporate law and the pinheads at the Department of Natural Resources, who regulate waterways in MD, and make up the rules as the go along...

Well, at some point you have to pay yourself a salary and declare income. I was thinking between #2 ~ #3
-
It was more the idea that they give your card to their customers when they first arrange for marina space, or with whatever mailers they might send.
That way the debtors are calling you, not the marina, when their salad days doing coke off harlots' hip bones come to a close.
-
I'll figure it out, and I have an attorney, an engineer, a retired army medical officer and a semi-pro golfer working on this with me. We'll come up with something.

Sounds like a sitcom!
-
My thoughts exactly; only they solve crimes ...
-
...like : Who droped the soap ?
-
Actually they will be officers in the corporation and the board of directors.

I keep expecting to read about Zoomie's sexual conquest... Then I remembered... It's Zoomie. Then it all makes sense why there is no mention of tang here.

but lots of crap about boats

I don't even swim, let alone sail.
-
Then you don't know the joy of riding the wind and hearing your heart beat in time with the waves against the hull.

No, but I do know the joy of riding a woman and feeling her pulse through her vaginal walls as I penetrate her with my penis. I'm sure sailing is awesome, too.
-
Yeah but you don't have to throw the boat out when you're done. Or bury it in the desert.
-
Touche'. Good show, old cock. Good show.

My (hopefully) score for THIS week:

See that picture reminds me how terrifying I think it is to climb out of a boat when it's out of the water like that...that blind step over onto the ladder leaning against the hull.
-
Yeah I don't like getting in and out of a boat on stands either. Gravity and pressure against the hull just don't seem very trustworthy. One of those pads slips and it's going down and rolling over on you like a fat girl in the dark.
-
I remember the manfrog experience. One slip...

Seriously. In the early 90s, my uncle did an almost complete rebuild on a 1912 Fife (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Fife) in a shed in Southampton. He and a friend who was helping him lived in the boat while fixing it on stands for over a year. We visited him a few times and going up or down that ladder used to scare the fuck out of me, although I never admitted it cuz I didn't wanna seem like a pansy.
-
I have nothing to add to this discussion other than the fact I was born in Southampton!
-

Dude, I totally ruined the best pair of hiking pants in that fall. Cather Marine is a pool of petroleum sludge with six inches of nasty Potomac on top. Luckily the Barmah you brought me didn't go under.

That rocks. And a Mitubishi would have made it in less time.
-
Any endeavor of merit should begin with, "Please God, help me!"
Personally, I would have chosen a 1988 Honda Accord.
-
Top Gear did it with a Toyota Hilux.
Were it me, I'd have chosen Monster Truck.
-
Hiluxes are the shit.
-
The older ones are.
-
Delicas, bitches.

Go anywhere, on anything.
-
You mean it floats ?
-
No but they run like hell in a meter and a half of water.
-
'Go like stink' . 'Run like hell' makes it sound bad.
-
Yeah but "go like stink" implies speed.
-
In a meter and a half of water....i think it would be quick.. compared to a Ferrari
-
You'll never get an M813A1 or an M35A1 over 2mph in that water, but you won't kill the engine either. So they run like hell, but they don't exactly go like stink.
-
ok, one more post....How fast do you think the Ferrari would go ?
-
The article is not abouta Ferrari, it's about a Toyota. And it has been compared to other vehicles, including the M35A1 that have or could possibly make that trip. The only Ferrari is in your head, Brian. There is no Ferrari. So the question is moot.
-
The M35 has the distinct advantage of being able to run on banana peels, moonshine, or the blood of a virgin in a pinch.
-
There was an article to read ? Well nm then.
-

And Empscum. Never forget Empscum.

OK Latest prospect:
1965 Pearson Vanguard. 32.5', nice big cabin, small cockpit and small companionway which are safer for ocean travel, full galley, full head with shower, and WHEEL HELM! I hate tillers.

Average restored value is $25K. This one needs about $12K in restoration and repair but I can pick it up for $2500.00
If I can get this one I'm dumping everything else but my Mutineer.
I also discovered a warehouse of new and used sailboat parts at wholesale prices. Everything from dinghys to lights to sails to surface radar. Gonna be a good winter.

Nice!
-
way to go man, upsize

I think Zoomie's score of the week was something along the lines of
(http://bbs.chinadaily.com.cn/attachments/month_0808/fat_ass_qQMMqFKAULIH.jpg)
-
now THAT is what I call upsizing!
-
Offer submitted, fingers crossed.
-
This is fucking killing me. Then again he's not going to get a better offer. This fucking boat is going to cost me $15K I don't have and I still want it so bad I can feel the Atlantic roll under my computer chair.
This is the same make and model, makes me want to cry knowing I won't be out in it until next summer, assuming I get it:
Chesapeake bay sailing at it's finest (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eu92lR2ZQBc#normal)
I need an electrical engineer geek to help me do this, again same make and model:
