THE boat that started it all!

1985 the boat that started it all. 1961 Lyman wood lapstrake. 40 HP Johnson. Leaked like crazy when it went in the water until the wood swelled. I remember this boat because I went to Provincetown once from Plymouth. Had 12 gallons of gas. NO radio a screwy compass you had to tap to get it to move and ibises a Phillips 66 gas station road map to plot my course. I made it to P Town and circled around and figured I was still on the first gas can so I headed home without getting gas. I had a spare 6 gallons right? About 20 minutes out of P Town the can went dry. I switched over and continued on my way. However got some rough seas. Made it back to the boat ramp on fumes. Yes to be young and reckless again! She is tied down for Hurricane Bob
