Junkin Treasures M/V Skylark

Cruising, DIY boat work, and big adventures! We bought a boat in St. Petersburg, Florida, cruised it across the Gulf and up the Tenn-Tom to its new home in Chattanooga. Now we’re tackling all the upgrades—engine repairs, fiberglass work, wiring, Garmin chartplotters, radar, MFDs, plus major projects like a bottom job and bow-thruster install. We’re a husband-and-wife team chasing the dream of completing America’s Great Loop while staying on a budget. Follow along as we learn, fix, explore, and make this boat adventure-ready!
