Hobby Boats can be expensive when the hobbyist is limited on their own skill and expertise.

Jody, That's #9 the one going to auction is it's predecessor #8.
There's a good article on woodyboater.com about this boat. The boat was repowered years ago and just recently the original hand built Miller v-16's were found and restored. Looks like #9 was repowered along the way too, I would guess it probably had Packard v-12 originally. |

Listen now- I don’t want any of you guys bidding me up on this one like you did when I bought “IX”. I had to sell off my Cayman estate to cover that fiasco good thing that was before the real estate market tanked.

I bet Pete will be in the bidding, It would make a big impression on the tubing circuit.

For thousands of years men have felt the irresistible urge to go to sea, and many of them died. Things got better after they invented boats.

I watched the video, and I think Pete may have been driving one of those boats from back in his younger days.
