I have a boat. Its a twin Diesel, 28' long, nice
fiberglass boat. One
engine has less than an hour of run time the other is a pull from a
Suburban and needs to have the exhaust fitted and installed into the
boat. Its on a Galvanized dual axel trailer with four brand new
tires. The interior sleeps 4 and has a head and a galley. The
interior is in nice shape. It needs the engine reinstalled, the
rudders and props reinstalled (included with the boat) and needs the
steering hooked up. Weighs about 8,000 lbs plus the trailer. You can
have it if you come get it. I dont really need any computers but if
you have some small stuff or some Ham gear I would take that in trade.

Possibilities include:
IBM 1130
DEC PDP-11/45
Xerox 6035
DEC Edusystem (11/34 with dual RK05 & TU10 tape)
IBM 5120
These systems are in Delaware.
I figure, it couldn't hurt to ask...
