Boy, I'd kill to have an old cod dory like that today. I suppose somebody somewhere makes 'em but they're probably 10K.

This boat must have been a 100 years old. My grandfather bought it from some guy down in new bedfah. He built a small cabin on it and dropped an old tractor engine in it w/ the prop on the drive shaft. One of my earliest memories about my grandfather was going w/ him, my dad and a couple of other guys to yank the engine out of a tractor up in rowley. He had it rigged up w/ some old bycycle gears and cable to steer the thing.
He had that thing up until the day he died.
