Last Ditch ole College try

I have worked changing props and carbs and other items to make the boat more efficent and it never came to pass. After a storm damaged the hull she kept taking on water removing the boat and inspecting the hull i found a 59 inch crack along the centerline of the hull forward of the center of the boat. I removed the flooring and did a inspection from the inside out and found that a grounding had damaged the boat earlier and a second grounding had flexed the hull to the point that it was done. Removing the powerplant and electronics that had not been damaged by water i resolved to destroy the boat. Crushing the hull with a bulldozer was like killing friend but it was not going to be something i would sell to someone that would result in harm or danger to others. It is done shes gone and i am working on a wooden hull Harkers island boat now that i salvaged from a sinking. shes a pile of wood and thats it so far a guess is a year or more before i have her ready to power down the water way. Today i send to NC Wildlife the title and a letter of salvage and destroyed with a recipt showing i destroyed the boat to them to remove the boat title from active. Sad day but another chapter in life
