Inn The Water

INN-THE-WATER is in the Hingham Harbor water waiting to be used. Got a little cosmetic work to do on her in that she was not in the water the last two years. Inn is sold. Wife wants me to sell the boat. I told her I would sell it under one reason which is not to be broadcast. So far it looks...

Dave and Ginny, You never get what you want when you sell real estate. I got the trailer fixed in New York and picked it up after attending an Inn Convention in Stow that October. Yes it needs some work, which I plan to do as soon as I get the boat in the water next spring. If it calls for a...
