Sadly, she is no more. She had a hard life. Was mothballed, caught fire and sank, was recovered, and went into Coast Guard service as a seal catcher among other things. Was finally broken up in 1955.https://www.whitehousehistory.org/the-floating-white-house 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Further Posted April 25, 2018 Share #15 Posted April 25, 2018 There is nothing so classy as a wooden yacht. Except perhaps a wooden sailboat. They are both a bit high maintenance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we lived in Michigan, I was a teenager, my father and I would buy project boats for the dry dock during the winter. Spend the summer, or two, tooling around with them then sell them and move onto the new project. We worked out of Don Ault boatworks on the St. Clair river. We had a 42' 1956 CC Constellation, 1958 CC Slickcraft, 1954 Egg Harbor Sportfisher and a bunch more over the years. The Connie had twin flat-head Hercules 6ers, thats the engines I learned to wrench on. Good times 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tizeye Posted April 26, 2018 Share #24 Posted April 26, 2018 A wedding anniversary surprise from daughter. Dinner cruise on a boat from Lausanne to Montreux on Lake Geneva where it let off passengers but returned to Lausanne with the dinner guest. When originally in service pre-railroads in 1911 shipped people and goods between the towns on the lake. Interesting, flies both the French and Swiss flag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MickinMD ★ Posted April 26, 2018 Share #34 Posted April 26, 2018 My brother-in-law and I had a 21' pleasure boat with a cuddy cabin including porta-potty, a grill that locked into one of the fishing rod holders, and a 201 HP V6 inboard-outdrive engine that could get us almost anywhere on the northern Chesapeake fast enough to spend a long time fishing. It had all the neat bells-and-whistles including a depth finder and a GPS so we knew if we were trolling over the same area where we just caught Rockfish (Striped Bass). It held 4 very comfortably and 6 reasonably comfortably. If four of us were going out fishing, I'd ask each one for $20 to pay for gasoline. Then gas began to rise significantly over $1/gallon. Since we'd burn about 60 gallons of gas, it soon began to cost in the neighborhood of $200 to use the boat. So we sold it. Maybe I'll get into sailboat racing!

One of the many things I loved about my Whaler was the removable tanks. Getting gas at the local gas station saved me $1.50 a gallon over the docks.

ChrisL Posted April 26, 2018 Share #37 Posted April 26, 2018 I kinda miss my Whalern. Low maintenance and easy to launch and fun as hell as I live a few Mike's from Newport Harbor. A baseball dad kept nagging me to buy it and I relented. Bought it used for $5k, had it 10 years and sold it for $3K. Other than a new battery and a cover I put no money into it for service or repairs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I burned more diesel than that every day hauling sailboat fuel on my flatbed trailer back in my truck driving days. When another trucker would see me deadheading on the interstate to pick up a load and ask what I was hauling the standard answer was either sailboat fuel or dispatcher brains. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
