If you can bring it to Red Wing too it will be gobbled up for sure weather it has the windscreen left on it or not!

Gregg,
you better believe I'll be there! I only missed it last year because that was the same weekend that I finally had the CVZ done and got a full weekend of run time. If I would have known how well it was gonna run, I woulda high-tailed it out there!

Hotwired,
not sure which boat will be coming with me, likely the CVZ, as I doubt the Scimitar will be done, but I won't be able to haul two, AND, if this CV-19 is here THAT long, I would have to claim it as my
own... You know, another one on the "pile"  ;D

Someone needs to start building double decker or a trailer somehow built to haul 2 or three boats!  Maybe a Kenworth with a 40 foot trailer would do the job!

now we're talkin! I might go Peterbilt with a whole lotta chrome, but to each his own.  ;)

maybe I'll throw some old tires on top of the CVZ and just stack Shrom's CVX on top of it.

Hah! No worries, that's not gonna happen, but I am gonna work on him about coming, I've offered to let him stay in the motorhome if he pulls his boat there. I've got quite a while to convince him!  ;D

You guy should drag Chris (Glastron_GT160) with you also !
See all the cool old G/C is only half the fun, meeting the people you've talked to for years is the other half !

Everything about that meet was Fun ... I think the best part was when Eight of us lined up coming out of that 'No Wake" zone and run hammer down the last mile, around the bend in the river back to the camp gound from lake Pepin,  I sure would like to have got a video of that one, it was a Blast.

before you go to sleep tonight, take a moment of silence for this CV-19... she is no longer with us.

she will live on with scotty007's beautiful boat, and some others who were in need of pieces. I have a few more trim items I will be posting on Parts over on CGOA.

after it was removed from the trailer, I made the mistake of looking back as I drove away... I have seen horrible things today. horrible things...  :'(

exactly... one of those unfortunate things we occasionally gotta do.

all parts have been spoken for (pending), so it looks like there will be a few happy people with some good pieces to put the finishing touches on theirs.

thanks for all the input guys, and for connecting members with needed parts. another reason I appreciate being a part of the "club".
