boat
A boat is a watercraft of a large range of sizes designed to float, plane, work or travel on water. Small boats are typically found on inland waterways (e.g., rivers and lakes) or in protected coastal areas. However, boats such as the whaleboat were designed for operation from a ship in an offshore environment. In naval terms, a boat is a vessel small enough to be carried aboard another vessel (a ship). Another less restrictive definition is a vessel that can be lifted out of the water. Some definitions do not make a distinction in size, as bulk freighters 1,000 feet (300 m) long on the Great Lakes are called oreboats. For reasons of naval tradition, submarines are usually referred to as 'boats' rather than 'ships', regardless of their size and shape. Ships are generally distinguished from boats based on their larger size, shape and cargo or passenger capacity.
Boats have a wide variety of shapes, sizes and construction methods due to their intended purpose, available materials or local traditions. Canoe-type boats have been used since prehistoric times and various versions are used throughout the world for transportation, fishing or sport. Fishing boats vary widely in style partly to match local conditions. Pleasure boats include ski boats, pontoon boats, and sailboats. House boats may be used for vacationing or long-term housing. Small boats can provide transport or convey cargo (lightering) to and from large ships. Lifeboats have rescue and safety functions. Boats can be powered by human power (e.g., rowboats), wind power (e.g., sailboats) and motor power (e.g., propellor-driven motorboats driven by gasoline or diesel engines).
I think this tragedy has preparedness and survival themes. Just goes to show you S can HTF anytime anywhere. It's probably not going to be a TEOTWAWKI scenario that you need to be prepared for.
For the life of me, I can't figure out why at the first signs of bad weather, no one was up passing...
I got this boat about a year and a half ago in bad condition. I stripped it down to metal but left in the back seat. I sealed all rivets using a Kevlar infused epoxy, installed flotation in the bottom, put a floor in it (coated with Behr deck paint with grip), built 2 box seats with storage...
Bunk style with glide ons. Made by a metal fabricator. Showing some rust but still in great working order. Lights work, tires are newer, and bearings were recently packed. Currently has a 18 foot Alumaweld Super Vee sitting on it. Boat is not included. This sale is for the trailer only. It will...
I dragged this home the other day and now realize I want to stick with the USS Deez Nutz (my guided missile canoe)
It's a '64 Klamath,seems seaworthy but I have a damaged foot so I can't take it down to the river to test. Caulking will cure any problems,regardless.
I cleaned it up a bit,sprayed...
Here is a good reason to fuel your boats yourself, even if the attendants want to.

I saw this and thought it was pretty dang cool, especially to us boat nerds (I know you're out there!). It is a hybrid cruiser that is covered in solar panels that charge a main battery. Off the battery it runs all the systems, including twin electric motors.

The Missus and I walked down to our range for some shooting today. I was so bad I'm actually questioning my fitness to own a gun. Had a couple good shots, but everything else was in the next county. Could barely hit the 8.5" x 11" paper I print my targets on. Even from 7 yards.
Another outing...
