Save-A-Boat - The Forum for Plastic Classic Rebuilds!

As I contemplate future project possibilities, I of course turn first to all of you, dear readers. Please take a moment to fill out the poll.

More details soon.

You didn't!

Did you?

Let's get a little stream-of-consciousness going here.....

He just built the barn, so I'm guessing it's not a real estate move.

He has the uber-capable coastal cruiser. So I'm guessing he didn't run out and pick up a 41' Rhodes or something like that. Unless someone came along and named a juicy price for Glissando?

He has the daysailor project well underway to satisfy his sailboat tinkerings, so it may be safe to assume that this new toy is not a project sailboat.

Well, ok, yeah I suppose it could be another sailboat project, but come on now.... The daysailor will probably absorb the available resources on that front for another year or so, right?

Even then, the Lyman is waiting in the wings to get the powerboat stuff out of his system. So probably not another powerboat. Unless he happened upon a steal of a lobsteryacht.
Nah. Too trendy.

But that Lyman.... Once it's up to snuff, he'll want it to go places. He dropped some substantial coin on that dandy trailer, after all. Clearly, there are plans for the Lyman that extend far beyond the local launch ramp.

Clearly, Tim is a man who prefers to travel in style.
Not just any old tow vehicle will do.


Yeah, Tim could be an Airstream kinda guy, maybe.

(Okay, so maybe it's a stream of semiconsciousness)

Ah, an Airstream! I've always harbored this sort of sick idea in the back of my head to pick up an airstream and convert a portion of it over to a darkroom, then travel the country photographing...

Oh, but no... that isn't what he's talking about! hehe

But I think the guessing game is kinda cool?what does everyone else think?

It sure is fun watching the conjecture develop! hehe I'm gonna let things rest for a couple more days, and see if there are other responses before I say much more.

Mike, I applaud your well-thought stream of consciousness. I warn only to never assume anything. You have to know, deep inside, that I have to be talking about another project. After all, the Daysailor will be done in early 2005, the Lyman will be ongoing during the winter, and Glissando needs little upgrading or maintenance at this time. (BTW, I don't think there's a juicy-enough price out there to take her away from me, so that option is most assuredly not it!)

Congratulations! You finally decided to run for the President of the United States and thereby complete your plans for world domination (now where is that little red button anyway...) Considering our options this year I think you will be a shoe in.

Failing that option I would say you are not being fair with us. I haven't seen any hints in the postings (I checked) but I can only assume it is a restoration project? Another boat maybe.... or something totally new like an antique airplane (when I really go off the deep end that is where I will express it.) Or, I know!... you are going to restore a 1944 M4A4 Sherman tank! Now that would be something to drive into Home Depot (and I mean into.)

The suspense is killing me. Give us an itty bitty hint

That's right. A life in politics is the life for me. How'd you know, anyway?

Dear High Keeper of the Forum,

What be a stugats?

Cheers,

Ah, you're not a Sopranos watcher, then.

As I understand it, it's an Italian slang for, well, (there's no nice way to say this) balls.

I should have read about the Seasmoke project before I voted.
