I was a keen angler as a kid, and as I now have a little boy I was thinking of getting back into it. I don't care to much for the hassle of owning a boat. So I was searching for canoes and as usual one thing leads to another and I stumbled on this gem.

I have no need or room for a speed boat. But If ever I was going to own a speed boat, this would be the one. It's even got fins. I would have to scrap the gold leaf signwriting for something more period and faster looking.  It would have to be an absolute pearler of a boat to blast around in.

I thought I would share this as I figure you guy's could appreciate the craftsmanship.
