I sold my truck and everything that went with it today. I am shutting my business down as it is after 43 years at it and taken a different approach to what I am going to do. I am moving to Sayward and i am going to be on this boat which needs some rebuilding in places; going to build an aft cabin which will be my shop and travel the coast and still do woodworking
 this old girl is just 3 months younger than me. She is a 42 1/2' troller, halibut boat that was built in 44 and early 45 and has a Gardner 6LX for an engine i do look forward to starting it next month i will perhaps have a couple of listing under parts for sale and that is it. nice knowing some of you people ron |

Wow. Count me as a jealous observer. Traveling the coastline by boat. What a life.
Safe voyage. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: last post here
Ron,
Good luck in your new future, sounds exciting, and thanks for all the support you provided to the forum and Parts to me. You will be missed. Your boat looks real nice, enjoy the sounds of the sea for me. To far away to hear them currently. The history on your troller is great. Did a little hearing boat piloting out of Portland ME. When teenager on friends boat. Really enjoyed piloting boat into Portland harbor in the fog at night. My head was in the radar boot and listing to depth gauge readout. Sounding the horn was great fun too. Boat loaded and low tide. Les Last edited by aotte1; 06-18-2018 at 12:07 AM. |

Re: last post here
this will be my deckhand
 and i am quite sure that i will have visitors there is about 10 different fishing rods aboard. the hardest part will be filling the fuel tanks as they will take 3,000 litres. it is easy on diesel though as it will burn between 1 an 2 gallons an hour at about 7 knots. |
