Maggie's Farm

We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.

1930 Chris Craft

This is a 26' triple cockpit runabout with a 425 hp Chevy V8. Mahogany, of course.

Pefect for Lake Champlain or Lake Winnepesaukee, if you don't mind being noticed. Or Long Island Sound, in nice weather.

You can buy it here.

Oh great, simply great. I was all set on a dog run for the side of the house, and now I may need a spot for a boat trailer too. Yup. Swell.

What a beautiful craft. It is so easy on my eyes and the feeling of just knowing the care you would want to give it.

I hope someone ends up owning it who appreciates it and not some rich hole who thinks of it as"just a boat".

That was me, #1 above. I was drooling over the photo such that I lost situational awareness and forgot to include my name and link.

In my experience, lots of rich guys buy 'em Habu, then get tired of the upkeep. With luck, they get sold to people who may not have quite as much money but who really enjoy taking care of them. That is the theory, anyway.

Funny how people see things differently. I would have used the words 'have to' in place of 'want to' in habu's comment.

But then, if you can afford the boat, you should be able to afford to pay someone to do the shining. It's a beauty, though.

I don't think that's Edwards. He doesn't have the presidential snippery from the ears down.

My daddy came home from POW camp in WWII. He spent several months in "rehab" at the Veteran's Hospital. You could not see his wounds. He was a pilot who had been shot down.

One of the few memories I have of my time with him is in one of these boats on Lake Erie. I remember being so happy to sit up on the back deck. He let me crawl up there, and it felt so good wind and water in my face, plus his strong hands making sure I did not fall off. These pictures bring b ack that happy day.

A motor boat? Where is the classic sail boat?
