Many Thanks

[BA17]

I put a post up last week about my son looking for a Seacraft and wanted to thank everyone on this site. The response was overwhelming. The folks on this site are extremely generous and always seem to look out for each other. I was sick for several days and did not get to check the site that often, but my son and I sat down and I helped him crunch the numbers on what it would cost him to create what he wants. I think he finally decided that the 19' skiff he has rigged up will last him another couple of years till he can save a larger nest egg. Think he was still gung ho on re-doing a boat till I explained that he would also need to be saving for a car in the next two years.

Thanks again and if I can ever help anyone on this site, just let me know!

no problem, Hate to part with any of my seacrafts but like to see kids getting into the rebuild process. It was not long ago that I was there myself (just turned 30 this year). I did my first transom and floor at age 19 on a old makee craft that my grandfather gave me. New cdi box for the 1980 Johnson 70 got it running and a little sweet, resin, and paint she was like new. Only had about $400-$500 total in the boat and it felt so good to have something I rebuilt by myself. Hope your son in the future will have the time and funds to do one some day.
