The Free Boat

Who could turn down a free boat?  And since we built a dam and created a small pond about a year ago we now have the perfect place to launch it.  Of course the boat was free for a reason.  This is no QE2.  It is a tiny six foot dingy.  Once several holes in the hull were repaired with fibreglass...

...the inside was painted with leftover house paint (to cover up some ugly spray paint tagging) and a new seat was made from a plywood off-cut, which was glued and screwed to the old one...

...and a central support was added to strengthen the broken seat using timber from an old barbecue stand...

....it was then ready for sea trials....

Just don't mention that I managed to tip out of it while showing off to my lovely wife.
