.....is old but is still in really good condition.

When new I can imagine it was pretty expensive because it is heavy duty fiberglass and foam filled with all stainless steel parts.

It is a good fishing machine on small water like the fresh water canal behind our little house in Sebastian, Florida.

Yikes..................In my retirement I hope to loose a few.

Lately in FL we have been eating too good.

This reminds me of when I was growing up on Tomales Bay. I had a friend in school and his folks owned the Inverness "Boatel", a motel with a marina. Nice folks! Lots of days, either after school or on weekends my friend, Larry, and I would get to take one of the paddle boats around the bay. Never fished from it though....we saved that for the other craft.

Bob,
In the book "Astream," a collection of outdoor essays by writer/fishermen/fisherwomen, Russell Chatham has a story about
growing up around Tomales Bay. Great reading!
Best,
