If you have a boat that is hard to stay a float ...

Try the lawn approach.
Cross the KKK River bridge in Milwaukee on Humbolt heading toward the Lake Michigan.
Second road to the left, two blocks down is this find.

Got to thinking about this motor yacht in Algoma, Wisconsin and the empty lot from my house
A 1924 Mathews Motor Yacht. Came out of Detroit, Michigan. Was a Sea Scout Boat for a while.
Some guy bought it and it's been on the hard in Algoma for years. Has an wide flange I-beam bolted to the keel. Junk boat.
Too rotten to float.
Needs to be lived in, stripped for wood and twin Chryslers in-line flat head 8 cylinders and running gear.
Or burned.
skip.
Gives new meaning to the term "Land Yacht" in RV circles.

Now, that is cool! 8) I betcha if that hull went down deep enough and was well ballasted, she'd float... for a while anyway. Correct me if I'm in error... but, isn't the "lapstrake" upside down? ::)
Thanks for sharing, Skip.
