I'm new to this site and I've been royally entertained by what I've read so far. I'll be back on the water this year in my 35' Cape Island I just purchased from Crown Assets for $817 including tax!! I will be adding a dual fuel option, my diesel will run excellently on used cooking oil, imagine, an ex fisherman that smells like french fries!
At less than one gallon per hour and veggy oil costing about $2 a gallon should be fairly economical to enjoy the freedom of my own wheelhouse. The supply of similar vessels is virtually unlimited and while one doesn't expect deals like I got, these old Capes will seldom let you down. No, she's not "pretty" like a factory built sail boats but she has her own karma which fits me like a worn glove. After 35 years working in and around engine rooms I find the thumper in the basement very reasuring, and have learned as well that a fisherman might beat you up but she won't drown you. Viva stinkers
