Gene Sipert (sp?) the construction guy has one that he keeps at LP called "insanity" has a green stripe too, I think.

You are living next to where that trimaran always sat, right?

[phragle]

the trimiran was in my yard, next to the park, our lot is in the lost peninsula

Gotcha.

That could be gene's boat. Maybe they had a problem with the truck or trailer.
Not too many 43 BTs in LP.

Are you two referring to the Trimaran that was on 131st??

Yeah. Phragle was forced to work on that thing as a child. I think it is awesome. Everybody knows that boat, because we all rolled past it all those years and looked at it and said "what the fuhhh...?" :D
I always pictured some eccentric people building it for some kind of Kon-Tiki adventure. It looked like it was concrete.

That dam thing is internationally known. :D

Phragle once had a public above ground pool right there until the ghetto caddyshack summer. :D

HA, now that's funny.
I remember looking at that thing every time we drove past as a kid, and always thinking, IF the guy ever finishes it, how are they going to get it out of there.
The road was only about as wide as the boat, and I mean both lanes, in a pretty busy area.
That's funny I knew exactly the boat you two were talking about immediately, and can still picture it.
It did look like it was made of concrete.

It became an ICON of it's own status.
Hell, I knew exactly the boat being mentioned without a description aside from trimaran.
Kind of a landmark (I know that wasn't the intention), but if I drive by today, I have to admit I'd be looking for it.

[phragle]

I cut it up, put chunks of boat on the curb for months, people were actually taking them as suvineers.

Knew it. That boat had heavy mojo.
All I have to do is close my eyes and I can see it sitting there.

Kind of like the Spruce Goose of Point Place. :D

It must have been strange to chop it up. Maybe you were sick of it.

I talked about this with my g/f.... she grew up at/in/around ORYC. She said that she thinks that she remembers your dad, like 30+ years ago. She said he was like a cross between Grizzly Adams and Peter Frampton. :D
Is that the right guy?

Was the boat named "Horse?"

Why.... you PIOUS, Sanctimonius, (ok... I can't do this with a straight face.)

:D :D

I have called it "Chrimmass and Chris mas" (Sunkin) in the last hour. I agree with you though. But... conversationally... I don't notice it.
