Put them on the Trading Dock at a really reasonable price? They must have parts value?

Steve, Looks like you have room for one more rack below the bottom cord on your roof trusses :lol:
Boats are to be made of wood, otherwise, God would have grown fiberglass trees.

It's okay to let go, go to the light. You're going to be fine, there are people who can help on the other
side, just let go.

I read a post today on some misc site from a guys who's been hoarding parts for twentyfive years with the hopes of building a skiff, he hit the wall, offered them (parts) for free to anyone who would pay shipping, tons of immediate responses, yet no takers...just let go.

PS as I fill my basement with parts...
