My Bug-Out-Boat
.....................................................................................................................................................................
Back in June of 2016..the price of Steem launched.
as luck would have it... the owner of a boat that I'd been following for about a year on Craigslist....cut the price.
A LOT.
it had been sitting on a ranch under a tree for years. He got tired of paying the owner storage fees.
so I cashed out some steem and bought it.
paid a guy to haul it.
to a storage lot near where I live.
bought some tools
and began to remodel it.
All with Steem
I call it the SteemDreem.
the inside was a mess.
the flotation foam..wouldn't...it was water logged.
every piece of wood was rotted or dry rotted.
there were wasp nests everywhere.
so
first I built some stairs
then...I ripped out it's tiny guts.
Everything on the inside is GONE
top, bottom and sides...all that's left is the FiberGlass hull, front and rear deck and the cabin.
I iz rebuilding it.
I haz the technology.
Today marked a milestone.
I put in some FLOOR.
have you got ANY idea how hard it is to walk in a Vee hull?
anything and EVERYTHING you set down...it rolls.
it's like climbing around on a Jungle Gym.
I'm old..and stiff..and fat..
it hoits..
Now I has a floor.
it'll be much easier from now on.
