Bought a fixer upper !!

[benhuntin]

My uncle lives in PA and fishes alot of halibut and salmon there but if we are really going to fill a boat we go to LaPush Good luck with the boat.  What is her name? (Bad luck to have a boat without a name Forest)

[robodad]

How about "Red Sky Night"

[benhuntin]

Sounds good but the boat and motor are blue?

[robodad]

OK how about "Middle Finger" then ??

[cohoho]

Maybe "Bad Luck Is Still Better Than No Luck"....  Good find for sure...  Better hurry Halibut season is around the bend and I heard of this guy that lives in Port Angles knows a couple holes, or at least put ink to a map once...

I know, it's getting close, all I really need are seats then I can go fishin, the top can wait !! 

How about "Fixer Upper"

Yes sir, add them to a loooooong list of "Things to add" LOL !! I might have to start with the fish-on's for a while but perhaps in the future I'll get some Folbe's !!!

Thanks Josh, Had to go to Idaho to get it but well worth it, it's a 1985 21' Glasply with out a cuddy cabin which is quite rare from what I have seen, most of the 21' footers have a cuddy and hard top and are butt ugly IMO, I found out the top is going to cost me as much as the boat did  but it will be a nice fishin boat when I'm done !!!

Those 21' hardtop Glasply's may not win any beauty contest but they are a great boat/hull. I've run charter boats in Ak. for 20 years and during that time I've run a 21' Glasply (Alaskan bulkhead) 25' Proline, 25' Renken, 26' Olympic and 22' Olympic as well as a couple aluminum hulls (apples & oranges there). I felt safer and had more confidence in that Glasply in rough ocean water then any of the other boats other then maybe the Olympic, but the Olympic was the roughest riding mofo I've ever been in so I wasn't a big fan.
I would love to find an older Glasply as a fixer upper project.

OK here is the before and after shots, I finally got all the seats in after an extensive round with the company and shipper, I actually ended up with 9 seats when I only ordered 4 but I just chose the best 4 and put em in !!!
