For some reason I didn't run the phrase "Thistle Restoration" through my Google-Fu. Maybe that was a good thing. If I had only known then....
But I didn't and although it was in a little worse shape than I had imagined through my rose tinted imaginings, we were immediately struck by a guarded fondness for the boat. Under the effects of time and sun you could still see good lines and a solid hull. Even the name works and we don't plan on changing it. I seem to have a weak spot for neglected vehicles that still wear traces of their former glory, and I'd be lying if I said this was the first pinestraw covered yard ornament I've brought home. After pumping up tires and collecting all the loose parts we towed it carefully home. I didn't think to take any pictures of it as we found it, but I did when we got it home.
Gee, Mom, it followed me home. Can I keep it pleeeeease?
