Larry Lang in Lake Geneva, WI., took my boat totally apart and refitted it with all new needed wood, Silica Bronze Screws, new 5200 hull stem to stern, and so on. Even a new custom five bunk Eagle Trailer so my baby can enjoy a nice smooth ride when out of the water.
SPK IV is my Baby! It needs a new loving home that will exercise it, but I can’t bring myself to that point. It’s my “Art Object” I guess. LOL!”
Here’s one more Mischief …
Frank Allen sent in these pictures of his Boston Whaler along with this information:
I bought mine from a guy in New Hampshire planning to do a cosmetic upgrade and get it on the water. As I examined the boat I discovered a weak transom which I had to rebuild before getting onto the Red exterior, upholstery, and new plexiglass for the wind screen.
Hoped someone may know of a vessel named Wimpy. My dad and mom were photographed near it in August 1935. My mom died 4 years later and I was a baby. Just hoping to find out about Wimpy. Thanks
