Must be nuts

I did my first post here about the transom on a 87 Lowe that I still need to do and then I bought a 92 Sea Nymph FM161 that I now have torn apart and have started to run new wiring to and replacing the carpet, if I can ever get the glue removed. Last Fri I made a1800 mile trip to pick up a 1988 Sea Nymph GLS195 with a 100 hp Merc. Soo once I get out of the rubber room I will finish the 161 and sell that. Not sure of the 14' Lowe may keep that one for smaller lakes and rivers and then will be rigging the GLS for the bigger water of the Great Lakes and will be making trips to the 1000 Islands... Will be adding some pics later as well

Sounds perfectly sane to me, haha. But we do need some pic's.

BTW, I always wondered where they came up with that name for the salad dressing. Sounds like it is a real place.

I think there's a 12-step program for you.

Just pulled them off the phone

Actually the GLS was something I've looked for for years. It's like the one that my dad and I had that I let go when he passed and finally found one that is in good shape that I could afford. Made the deal made the arrangements to go get it and on the way realized that I was picking it up on what what have been my father's BDay. So I would say that it was meant to be and have no issues in selling the others to keep it.

Looks like you have a few irons in the fire, those all look like pretty decent boats , my problem is I would want to keep all of them!

I do but knowing that I can't makes it easier.. minimum the 161 will go once I am done.. Engine purrs now, have most of my needed parts and all my marine plywood so puzzle time now

A good friend bought a 19" GLS brand new in the 80s. Used almost exclusively on Lake Erie.

115 Evinrude. He's been beating the heck out of that boat for 40 years! Been on it many, many times. No trailer/garage queen. This boat gets used.

It's a great boat, just watch the weather.

Great to hear thanks... been on Ontario once on a 26' when the rollers were hitting in 6-10' range and no thanks..

Those are some good-looking boats!

I've discovered that my 16' boat goes in the same places as my 14' did and more comfortably, so I ended up with one boat that I really like, and the others help pay for fuel, trolling motor and a nice Garmin.

Enjoy the process and deciding what you want to keep!

I probably will be the 14 and 19. There are lakes around here that have hp restrictions so I can put a 9.9 on it and have fun in those as well.
