    It's a very admiring look at the Junk from the year I turned 16. Not too long, worth a read.
    Worth noting that in 1963 you could buy a Hong Kong-built 30 footer FOB New York for $3700.00 US.  Even I could afford one... if I could buy it with today's shriveled, shrunken money. [sigh]

    A good find Jeff. The rest of the mag was fun to look through as well.

    ... and when I got to "please turn to page 200", I scrolled down through the other articles and found a boat that doubles as a motorcycle side-car, and a pram dinghy with a bolt-on bow section, and all kinds of good stuff. I skipped the home improvement section, though.
