Sad fate for classic boat

Post by Challenger949L »

I know its wood, but you hate to see an old boat with nice lines end up like this.

No boat lives forever. Death paid a visit to that hull a long time ago.

Yeah, we were talking about this one over at the Wooden Boat Forum. A regular member there lives up on the Northern Neck and went over and checked the boat out. His conclusion was: "she's so rotten, you could eat her with a spoon."

As you can see from the pics, she's terribly hogged.

I think she's a long-gone goose.
