Thread: Dead Cats

    Dead Cats

    So much for 9 lives. This is my neighbors boat. 88 Tarrab the guy bought it new in 02 I think I’ve seen it move 5 times and 0 in the last 10 years. No idea why Boat US is towing it backwards. I figure it will be added to the collection of land crabs at Crackerboys Ft Pierce.

    Non boating people lol. His first boat was a huge Bluewater houseboat. His plans were to take it to the Bahamas’s I think they got 10 miles offshore and started taking on water and turned around. Sold the blue water and bought this thing in Argentina. I don’t think it did any better in the ocean. Cat was here for over a week trying to get the engines going and finally gave up. It ended up at Harbortown/Derector Ft P.

    Use it or lose it. Especially true with boats. May not be cheaper but it’s way more fun to try and wear them out!
