TOPIC: First Washington barn find

Amazing barn find, have to go back tomorrow, $120 bucks and a milk crate of stainless nuts, bolts and washers have to be a few hundred right there, 2 WWII army helmet liners, a water ski probable worth $100 itself, some vintage boat window brackets, a hand trolley with a 1 7/8 ball on it for moving boats, an old sewing machine all steel (for sewing vinyl upholstery) a NOS orange life vest in plastic with 60s writing, NOS "coast guard approved" vinyl seat pad and so much more. There is a lot of fiberglass cloth and tape, may have to get that stuff, these rolls of 3" cloth tape are $21 online.

never need to pay $3 for 4 stainless bolts again.

BoMarine water ski, cool logo, this was worth $100 by itself, and gold and white on pine, amazing

I mean, Robin Hood on a flipping pair of bi-racial dolphins, what could you want

This waterski was disgusting, after a cleaning it's great!

ROFLMAO!

Seriously, that WAS a great score!

WoW I wish I had that luck. Stainless is out of this world in price. I treated mine like gold when I tore my boat down. I still spent a bet $100 on screws and bolts.

terriffic score...

All great stuff. That stainless was a real bargain and the ski is a gem.

I'm going back today Mark, lots of stuff in drawers, a ton of bronze bolts and nuts too but I just don't use them.

Thanks guys, I'm going back today with a head mounted light, that should make the browing quicker, outboards too but they are like sears, if they were a better brand I would be picking them up. Lots of glass fiber rolls of 3" tape and lots of bags, have to look, it might be chopped glass for a gun, he had made sailboats. Also got a large roll of steering cable, the plastic covered stuff which I needed.

Excellent score, good luck on the re-run.

I have a pile going but he had to leave, some unused box seats, think they are NOS, a couple pairs of moon looking hub caps, hope they will fit my boat trailer, heavy duty stapler for upholstery, bunch of WWII stuff with 1941 though 1964 dates, some Korea in there too I guess. 2 gallon cans of outboard gear oil never opened. I don't know how this kid is going to get rid of it all, several outboards but all small and no Mercs or I would snatch them.
