I had an old aluminum skiff that was going to be for my kids, but that never worked out.  So I was going to clean it up and sell it and make some money.  But a kid in my neighborhood had taken an interest in my boat collection, and started to express a desire for his own watercraft.  So I put together some stuff - boat, cover, yard trailer, smal outboard, oars, and a lot of advice on how to put some work into it and come out the other side with a boat to be proud of, and sold it to him for just enough for a kid to be vested in the project.  Caught up with him later in the year, and he fixed it up beyond anything I had though of.  Truly made it his own and was having a blast.  In the end, this is one of, if not the best, my boating moments for 2025!
