It's easy to get involved with life if you live long enough.
Here are a couple of "other" builds I have made in the past 15 years.
The truck is named "Snowflake" by our daughter, back when it was painted all white.
one tone Pete. Set up on an old motorhome frame. The cab is 1964. The hood and grille are from the same
era, but different trucks. The fenders are homemade to fit the smaller tire size. The flatbed has a dump kit.
Now powered with a 1994 Cummins 12 valve, pumped up a bit, fuels to 3,500 RPM, 5 speed main, 3 speed brownie,
geared for 62 MPH at 1850 rpm. Been on the road as is for 15 years now.
The boat, another 'assembled" build is made up from 5 old dead boats, some wood and fiberglass.
Now powered with a 292 chevy straight 6, from an old shop truck, and 1971 era Mercruzer outdrive.
Custom designed by us, the way we picked out using the same "doodling" style of drawing like I have used
for bikes.
Big enough to sleep two, have a small private porta potty space, (wife approved) small galley, and room to fish under cover,
as it sometimes rains in Oregon. (LOL)
Built on a small budget, like most of my projects, Under 5 grand for everything, trailer, trolling motor, and electronics included.
We named it "Flotsam" since that's what it is, floating boat wreckage. Works great for us though.
I have met folks that have that much invested in their fish finders.
The last item has been named CarrieCarrie, and was built quick on an old boat trailer when we needed more room to move
our things 3 years ago.
It turned to be a great time to move. just before the covid mess. When everything was locked down, we were working on rebuilding
the old, 1937, house we are now in. No real changed to what we were doing.
CarrieCarrie now has the garden tools, spare truck and boat parts, and some bike parts.
It's being used as a small farm shed, and that was the plan.
Built for around $150, trailer was free.
