Boats,

Always a sad day when you pull her out for the winter. We buttoned up the fleet (and I use the term loosely) weekend before last. The driveway is looking like a boatyard these days.

Here's some pics of ours, both ebay specials which required alot of elbow grease. My hubby basically rebuilt the bottom of the wooden one this summer.

Don't you just love it when they get in the slot... stop short of the water... get out of the truck with a toolbox... yank the cowling off and start "hammerin' the motor" ...cue the cops
