Ken,
You have been a long time loyal fan of CSC and also an enthusiastic supporter of the original Moesly designs.

If you want her, then you deserve to have her. Best of luck and I hope you win.

Trayder please forgive us on this thread as we have
broken all the rules of boats for sale on CSC. This one
has touched all of us.
Here are a few more pics from today while Dave and I
were high on hope and change....

See ya, Ken

Hi NoBones:

Here is a post I put up on 6/14/05
I guess it is still true today.

To do a project boat is for some people Something Special and for others it’s something Stupid. Truly It Is A Labor Of Love. And IT’S NOT CHEEP EVEN IF YOU DO IT YOUR SELF. And if you have someone else doing the job will you probably could buy a new boat for what it will cost to have someone else do it for ya.
Here’s the deal. What ever you think it will cost add 50 to 65% more to the cost and you got it right and what ever the length of time you think it will take double it and you are in the ball park and YOU BETTER LIKE DRINKING BEER OR YOUR NEVER GET DONE.
This is not a Logical Decision one makes, this is a Labor Of Love. People buy antique paintings for millions of $$$ and old cars for hundreds of thousands of $$$ we do boats for one of two reasons WE LOVE OUR SEACRAFTS, or GOD is punishing us with a lot of work for something we did to make him mad.
I put in over a year / 150 days of work and $32,000 to do my boat. If I were to think about this thing logically I could have bought a real good 5 year old boat that didn’t need anything done for approx the same amount of cash.

We Are One sick Group Of People Here and if you hang around long enough you could get infected with a obsession that will never get better so you just got to give into it and do one your self. Bottom line is this there are a lot of guys here that could buy any boat they want others want a great boat for approx 50 cense on a buck but after you do one your self you will be more proud of your accomplishment and boat that if you got a new one of any boat manufacturer on the market. That why I really look at my boat as a 23’ SeaCraft CUSTOM BUILD BY KEN. I know that might not make any sense but it is true never the less.

I guess by the time you guys got there you were so snookered on the Kool-aid that you didn't see my flat bed up the drive two properties...yeah, that's right, the one with the CA plates behind the blue Freightliner...yeah... I saw it first so you better start looking for another piggy-bank to crack into

What a beauty! - like finding the Santa Maria on your favorite reef. Great helm layout. Looks like a couple hours on your power washer and your in business.

Good luck with the bid!

Go for it Ken! A little rubbing compound and that red will shine right up. Hopefully the bridge is rotted beyond repair because I'm with Capt. Chuck...

Ken it would be an honor to drive over with the first gallon of bleach and lift a glass to the first pull of the pressure washer.

Ken,

This is getting pretty cool!!! Down to less than 8 1/2 hours to victory!! There are only a VERY select few in this world that understand just how crazy we are and also understand the CSC curse we are affected with....no, no not even thiking about the big 'ol joints and koolaid consumed in area 442 altering your state of mind!! Let us know how it turns out!! My suggestion in a minimum 8gb memory card for your digital camera to keep record the project.

Again GOOD LUCK!!
