My brother just called me about 45 minutes ago with some great news. He found the Ebb Tide. The Ebb Tide was a boat my Grandfater and his twin brother built in 1954 and made their mainden voyage in 1955; designed by Ed Monk.
Pictured below you will see a Picture of it Circa 1979 with My Brother Troy, my Dad and my Grandfather standing on the dock. We grew up on this boat spending every summer's vacation cruising the area I have posted many pictures of. This boat was magical to us and a piece of our soul and where we discovered and cultivated our passion for boating. In 1986 it grew to be too much work for my Grandfather and he sold it. For the last 3-4 years both my Brother and I have been looking for it. He wants to buy it back. Well today my brother went to Craigslist and for our Seattle-Tacoma area typed in "Monk". It directed him to this site. http://jps.smugmug.com/gallery/1475773/1/70528394
There has been some slight modifications made but we both agree this is the boat. It is only 10 miles from my house now and I will go take a peek later this afternoon.
