I got this from a family friend.

The good-

It has been stored inside for the last 35 years. The wood shows no sign of rot. Most of the interior is intact.

The bad-

It had one broken plank, which I removed. Has a cracked gunwale strip and a crack in the bow stem.

I’m just not interested in this project. The guy who I got the boat from asked that I not turn it into a flower planter. I sent 20 hours removing the paint from the out side, then lost interest. I need room for other projects so it has to move on.

Id like to trade it for a 4wt, 8wt, old clicker reels, fly tying materials or most anything fly fishing related. I have odd ball trailer that can go with the boat, or not. Looks like it started life as a jets ski trailer. It came from Oregon with no title or license plate

A couple watermasters on CL for "best offer" Strangely, they appear to have been used in the salt for crabpots? Whatever floats your....er....boat, I suppose. Located in Oak Harbor:


I see all manner of crafts being used to set pots while fishing the beaches.
Dungeness crab have mysterious power over people. The allure to catch them sometimes seriously overrides their common sense in regards to the crafts they select to pursue them.

I prefer to call them strike indicators.

if I had room for another boat, I'd be all over this one
Another interesting boat - aluminum (made in BC I think):
