There i stood over a 23ft PennYan full of water inside totally destroyed pumping it out looking at my trailer and Hummer i was going to tow it home with. My wife the woman of reason looked at me not wanting to crush my dreams but said " Hey what about that other boat " Humm the one thats only 10 miles from my house as i am sitting in Solomans islands MD, i cut the pump off called for a full retreat and laid down my dreams of the PennYan on NC waterways, In looking back she made the right call and a few phone calls later and some elbow grease we had another project boat. Wellcraft 265 antigua , measures 28 ft 6 inches 24 ft at the water line and 7ft 6 inches wide. mostly intact but broken and in need of a home, as my vision of a sportboat steady in my mind in just a few days i had the hard top on and was working on the transom extension that would hold the new, Outboard power. STOP two friends needed a hand taking a boat to south florida and after 6 weeks on a boat, my vision had changed, Now she was going to be a cruiser for overnight and weekend trips with comfort slow and easy but with enough power to get up and move if needed.
