When I got home this evening Someone had left me a Beautiful CV-23 right in my driveway, how much better does it get than that ?  ya know what they say ... posession is 90% ownership, I'll get it fired up tomorrow and give ya'll an update.

Here's the pictures of my gift boat
Ain't it a Beauty ?

Make sure to sneeze on it, firmly place your hands on the hull and yell "No backs!" for all to hear. It works with popcorn and siblings, maybe boats too?  ;)

What a Bummer .. it don't have a prop on it at all !  and a lady showed up claiming it was her boat !  she was tired of pulling it and dropped it off in my driveway .. Oh Well, story of my life.

But ,,, today I got to check it out, put a prop on it, changed the oil, filter, fuel filters, done a little carb work, adjusted the shift cable, and a few other things, put a water hose on and fired that sucker up !  Ran Great

She wants to the lake tomorrow for a couple hours, see if it's got the potienial for a show up in Iowa .. Duh !

That is a beauty! Best of all, free!
I definately prefer that year with that windshield. Great color too. Barb, you sure know how to find them, although I know you put some elbow grease into cleaning it up.
BTW, hows the shoulder?
