Family Visits Popeye

Back in January, we took a trip out to the marina to visit Popeye. Granddaughter Meg and grandson Jamie had never been on a boat before, but knew that they had to have life jackets on before they got anywhere near the water. In the end, Jamie never got up in the boat, but Meg, Kelly, Nick, and Wendy all got tours.

It's not as wonderful as being on a boat in the water, but any time on a boat is a good thing.

She's pretty. What's your horsepower? Also, is the funnel functional, or cosmetic? - Pip

Oh, Phillip is Pip. Now I know....
The funnel is not functional. The lower portion forms a cabinet in the aft bulkhead of the pilot house so that is sort of functional. The upper portion creates a washtub if you don't create an uncaulked drain where they join. I don't know what I will use it for.
The original engine was 30 hp (Perkins). The new one is a Beta 28 HP (Kubota). They are sold new now with 33 to 54 HP........Dan
