Re: Birmingham RB14

My dad and I learned some valuable lessons today.
  • Just how poorly a 14' boat fits in a 20' garage.

Re: Birmingham RB14

My dad and I got down and dirty yesterday.

You're more organized than I. I've only kept up with costs. I think it's because I'm subconciously aware of how disappointed I am in my rate of progress.

Re: Birmingham RB14

I got a Google alert in my email for an outboard that fit my specifications: A 1959 35hp Johnson Super Sea Horse. And he only wanted $200! He had that and a similar motor as a parts donator.
