She sat in a barn close to where I grew up and I had admired her bow just poking out of the slightly opened barn doors since the early 1970's. As we drove by I would daydream of being on the water and motoring away from my seemingly dull life. Anyway, a friend of a friend acquired her before the barn collapsed and threw a tarp over her and did nothing but dream about a restoration. Normal......then as usual.... tarp deteriorates and rot starts and I get a call because I'm the crazy guy who restores just about anything.
She is looking good now and ready for the water once again and she is for sale. Pleas let me know if you have any interest and I would be glad to give you the tour.
