WANTED: Your fishing boat for Huck Finn! (Miss Rockaway Armada) - $1


Reply to: sale-309533235@craigslist.org
Date: 2007-04-10, 4:17PM CDTI’m looking for an affordable or donated aluminum (maybe fiberglass) 14′-16′ boat with a 15-40hp motor, flat floor, pedestal seats (ideally no furniture except a steering chair, or a sideways bench) and a steering wheel and controls with forward and reverse. The boat needs to be rowable and have a motor as well. Can spend $750 tops.

I’m part of a neat project–a group of folks from all over the country who built a 110 foot long raft (see picture below) last summer to float down the river and do shows and workshops along the way. This year I want to buy an affordable boat which I can build onto (I’d like to build a sort of cap, frame and curtains) and make into a storyboat where I’ll record the stories (oral histories) of folks along the river. We’re called the Miss Rockaway Armada, http://www.missrockaway.org and we started in Minneapolis last year. I’d like to pick up the boat and motor down the river to somewhat near the quad cities where we’re dry docked, then paddle the rest of the way, using the motor to get away from barges etc. Last year seemed impossible but we made it happen, please help this amazing storyboat project happen!

You can read about us at the links below. there was one in the star tribune but I can’t find it online:
