Boats: They are nice old guns. It's been a voyage of discovery for me and I've really enjoyed it. Being a refugee from Appalachia, I certainly grew up with pumps, but over the years I somehow drifted away from them. One thing I didn't leave behind me, however, was being a thrifty old Scot. I love well-made things that stand the test of time and some of these old corn-shuckers are pretty impressive, both in design and execution. They are also kind-of fun (when you don't have a lot of $$$ tied up in something, you tend to use it a bit differently). There will always be a place in my arsenal for one or two of them.
