Two boats...................

[67Dart273]

FINALLY sold the old 15' Voyager, and now ended up with the 53 12' Crestliner "Decked Bow Commander" I've had and the "new" boat, a 58 Crestliner 15' Voyager. Took a "little" bath on the price, but I want to move on. the combo of getting older, feebler, broken ribs, covid (right now) and the time and trouble.

"I think" I am done with buying "new boats." This is IT. Layed down some new wiring, but rain and then covid stopped that project. Nice today, but I'm still weak, and don't feel like crawling around getting that done yet. Then I'll put the floor back in.

Top photo, the old 12', others are the "new" 15'

Yeah, first and definitely last fiberglass boat that I will do. Glad I did it though. My Grandpa actually built a wooden cabin cruiser in his ( barely) two car garage in the early sixties.

I'm finally feeling better after covid, this weekend rained both days. MAYBE I'll get the wiring in enough to go out this week AND IT IS GONNA RAIN this weekend again!! Not bad today but still rain clouds and "threatening"

Same here. Everyone said we couldn't ski with a cabin cruiser.
Good looking boats designed by Raymond Loewy.
