The horror. The horror.

Among the stacks of stuff I got with the boat I found some photos of a previous owner's vision of what - I can only imagine - he thought the interior of a boat should look like. His philosophy must have gone something like this: 1) never let someone else's thoughtful and careful construction stand in your way; 2) when rebuilding, rely on your treehouse building skills from childhood: use only scrap lumber, put your collection of rusty salvaged nails to use, don't fret about poorly secured items (the fat kid shouldn't be climbing around your treehouse anyway!), and, most importantly, add all kinds of thingamajigs that don't serve any purpose other than looking "cool"; 3) structural integrity...who needs it?! A real boat stays at the dock anyway.
Enough of that. It truly is lamentable. I won't even try to explain the following pictures. How could one make sense of insanity?


























* NOTE * The writing on the pictures is not mine. It presume it is the hopeful scribbles of a prospective owner who was assured that, prior to purchase, the previous owner's sins would be corrected.
