When I worked at Westinghouse there was Lou Turks tavern right outside the gate. There was a stripper working there at lunch time(I never went at night) who was very good. Not real beautiful, kind of pretty girl next door looks, which I prefer, but a good dancer and entertainer. Her big finish song was "The Cutest Little Dinghy in the Navy".
This made me think of her...

Looks like you could harvest that mess instead of just getting rid of it.

Harvest? Is that crap edible?
Well yeah, most things are edible but does it taste good?
Hmm, enough butter would make most things taste ok.
I've a feeling it would take enough butter to float that boat in order to swallow that um ... stuff.
But I'm a landlubber, so who knows.

Those front benches look more than a little risky.

Over 50 mph on water is risky in any pleasure boat.

Boats, about as good as they get (got?).

One minute in they try to sell you for half a minute but this too shall pass.

84 years is a long life for a working boat...

Edited?
For some reason "Patomac" sort of jumps out at me.

Edited to add the flag bit, but missed the river/boat spelling.

Power to the people... who can afford it...
They look like Mercury Verados at $40,470 each PLUS...
Dealer Engine Prep: $600 Prep Fee. Validates warranty.
Hmm $40,470 + $600 = $41,070 x 6 = $246,420 + tax
Pre tax $102.68 per horsepower... not including the boat of course.

Speaking of capsizing, I came across the (almost?) final report from the NTSB about the famous "capsized" Duckboat near Branson MO in 2018.
It mentions taking on water over the gunwales
It mentions sinking several times.
It mentions that most of the 17 drownings came from getting stuck in the overhead canopy as the boat sank to the bottom right-side up.
It never uses the word capsize.

"getting stuck in the overhead canopy " There's an unpleasant way to go. "I just keep swimming for the surface, but can't get to it. I know, I'll just swim to the surface again."
