Hello everyone...just thought I would drop by and say hello. As most of you know the old 73 SS found a new home in Northern NM. The sequence of events that followed was me driving 600 miles to Dallas to get my next boat. I took new tires along for the ride, had them mounted in Texas followed by an uneventful 600 mile tow back home.
This boat came from a good friends uncle who no longer used it, after 12 years of ownership, as his kids we grown up and gone. So I picked up this thing for $4500. I replaced the ignition switch, stereo and speakers, and wheel bearings and seals on the trailer. I do miss the SS already and would probably still have it if modern outboard power was not so cost prohibitive. But I think this boat and 4.3GL Volvo will serve our purpose a little better for now.
I know this is not the place for a Caravelle, but just had to show you guys the new rig. I miss the sense of community and the encouragement I recieved from this board. I will still be here on iboats...mostly lurking for now...until the tin fever strikes again.
You all take care and I will still be following your projects!
