10lbs of shit, in a 5lb bag (cypress strip boat)
A couple of years back, I happened upon my Pappa's one man boat, and another strip boat up in the top of a barn at the farm.
The "other" strip boat has always been around, and I used it back when I was young. It is in near perfect condition.
My Pappa's boat, is also a one man strip boat, but needs a new floor, and some new wood here and there. They both have been another one of those things to do, that I never have time for. With the addition of Ms. Addie, my free time is an endangered species.
With that said, I have been considering selling the "other" strip boat just to free up some space. I do it with a heavy heart, as I refuse to part with shit that belonged to family, especially family that meant something to me. Hence, the thread title, "10lbs of shit, in a 5lb bag".
Further, this is not a WTS thread. My goal is to get an idea of what such an item would sell for. First, I dont think I can remove myself from the history of it to be able to submit a fair price for it. Second, I am thinking, before I can use this boat, it will deteriorate and become unusable; I am thinking someone would be able to care for it and appreciate it more. Thirdly, perhaps someone would tell me I am an unholy bastard for selling one of Pappa's boats and I will change my mind.
