Another Boat Project That Will Probably Never Be Finished (Update 6/29/2025)

ByBob La Londe

New Update 6/29/2025 It’s not looking good.  I put up a hundred bucks as a deposit, but there keeps being one thing after another holding up the title.  As I told the seller, he’s sure going to an awful lot of work to just hustle me out of a hundred bucks. Negative:  He still shows…

The epic enduring drama of Whisker Seeker will continue.  I just don’t know when.  I had rekindled my drive to get it seaworthy just before Gary passed away.  In fact I called Gary and his daughter answered to see how he was doing and let him know I was working on getting him out in…

2005 Mercury 50 ELPTO Fuel Line T – Another Boat Project That May Never Gets Finished…

ByBob La Londe

It can be really frustrating working on outboards sometimes. In this case I was replacing the fuel lines on the outboard for “The Tin Can.” I’m thinking I might use it on “Whisker Seeker” since the outboard that came with Gary’s boat was always a bit undersized for it. Whisker Seeker is rated for 60,…
