New Old Boat

Went by a friends today to pick up an old tin boat he wanted to give away. I now start a project that sould take about 6 - 12
months (on my budget). The boat is 14 foot v hull that is 58 inches wide. I loade the monster on the trailer for my 12 footer
(going to have to modify the trailer) then he hands me this BIG box labeled "Boat Stuff" When I get home I open it up and inside
is a bilge pump, live well pump, through the hull fittings (I was wondering about those holes drilled through the hull) tubing,
mounting brackets, running lights, and a wiring harness. I asked Duke what he wanted for all this stuff and he said he had just
been operated on for colon cancer for the secound time in four years and that he's been watching me pull my 12 footer past his house
four or five times a week and that I need a bigger boat that is more stable to take him fishing. Go figgure. It's nice to see
anouther kind hearted person. Remember, What goes around comes around. Doc
