Have an old motor cowling?

Here's a decor idea for you!

That's a good idea. But those old cowls are expensive...

Who said art is cheap?

He needs a few "Force" cowlings, should be lots of them around!

Markshoreline · February 15, 2018, 09:54:48 PM

Yeah but who'd put those up?

They would look good at a business but would not like them at my home - maybe garage ornaments

I seem to recall, somewhere in my travels, seeing a cowling used as a mailbox. Talk about product loyalty. :hoboy:

Yes CS, but based on the condition, looks like Mark could only expect to get about half that value.

He also has a half-boat which he has previously posted.

I guess it cuts down on the cost of gas!
He could still sell the cowls, he just needs to find a buyer thats a real optimist.

On those old Force cowlings, If you didn't have the power head for the necessary weight, you could fill the bare cowling with concrete and still have a good anchor! RK

so Mark, Is Lisa letting you put them on the wall ?

BruceL2_Fish · February 20, 2018, 05:05:48 PM

I'm thinking that is not happening!

Markshoreline · February 21, 2018, 10:58:36 PM

Heck no, are you crazy?
Croaker I cant find the pic of the half boat but it would be perfect for the half cowling!

GoodDays · February 23, 2018, 09:38:55 AM

I could do it :-)

Markshoreline · February 23, 2018, 04:36:36 PM

Ye who are unencumbered can decorate as you wish!

I sold a skiff on our boats for sale board that I had intended to saw in half lengthwise and mount on the wall in our Whidbey house after my wife said no to the idea. Bruce I hope it looks good in your yard!

Did you offer to plant flowers in it?
