Its been a very long time that i have been on. I am also sorry Linda and I couldn't make the meet but its been a rough summer for us. First of all I asked Linda if she wanted to get married again she said sure why to me i have know idea but i will take it.lol 2nd she gratuated from nursing school and is for now a cna. I am very proud ;D. Here is the ugly news I managed or am going through threw 2 forclouseurs One from my ex and the other from my dads estate. Life does go on But would like to offer ANYONE IN THE CLUB THE CREASTFLIGHT. Just come and pick it up and all parts that i have. The reason is i have no idea where Linda and i will move and trying to find long term storage very cheap is tough. All i ask if it goes to a member that when its done i can go for ride in it 8). I still want to be active in the club and when money and life gets a little easier i will find another classic promise
Ok enough ramblin

Sorry to hear that Tom.
Is there a specific timeline you're looking for in getting the boat outta there? Assuming soon?
I'd love to do the Rich conversion to it to give it a little more 'Go'...but suspect folks will be climbing over one another to take it off your hands!
-
Hey Doran This fall would be great it comes the 2 motors that retro gave 2,3 outdrives well just say every part i have. Hate to see it go but it is what is.

Tom. I love that boat and would sure like to see it back on the water.
Hey if nothing else, I'd let you store it here for free. We might have to figure out what to do with all the parts however.
PS, sorry to hear of the bad news but at least there is some good news in there too.

Tom, I don't have a shed to put it in but there is a lot of room up here at the family cabin at Ottertail. I'd be happy to mothball it for you till you can get back to it. It would be outside but tarped and secure till when ever.
-
Tom, Here's a deal you can't refuse ;)
As spokeman for a few members, we would like to make your 174 a club project.
If Ross can store it a few months, a few of us would like to make it a winter project.
Jim
-
Love it!
I'm willing to save it, and I know that Dan was thinking it over too...but keeping it in Tom, Linda and Alex's hands is far and away the best option. Its too nice a boat not to have around. I remember really liking it at the 2010 meet Tom.
Collectively, it shouldn't be too difficult of a project. Especially if the power plant is a runner as Retro thought it was, what a great setup for that boat!
Got to be a way to make it happen for you Tom.
-
I like the idea! Having it here for a few months or whatever is fine but it will be outside.
I'd like to take part in the project as well. Its a worthy cause.
-
That's awesome. Wish I lived close enough to take part - always willing to learn from others.
-
I'm currently working on a transom and an extra set of hands makes it actually pretty easy. Jim's idea would work out great if some people could figure out two weekends or so we could get it back in order in no time.
-
I am very humbled at reading all the posts. Frankly i don't know what to say other then Thank you from my heart. I want to be apart of the winter project as much as i can if thats ok? This means the world to me and has given me hope that everything is slowly turning around in my life for the better. The boat can stay here with me for as long as i still have the house.
I also would like to say that i have never belonged to a club that cares about the members as much as this club.
Thank you again everyone you truley are a family to me and my family.
sincerely
Tom and Linda
-
I couldn't be more proud to be a part of, and honored to know, the members of this group. If the rest of life worked the way our club does the world would be a much better place!
-
Count me in too. I can donate some garage/tools/heat time as needed to get this project going too.
Your a great guy Tom and we are all very happy to help you (and Linda and Alex) out!
-
Count me in !
-
Thank You everyone
-
I am sure I could give a hand where needed as well.
-
If anyone has anything left over from their projects they would like to donate, please post.
Glass, Resin, Plywood ??? ??? ???.
Sean (fireman24mn) said if we want a place to work, we could use his shop, It's close to Tom & heated.
-
We have the marine grade plywood covered! Let me know when/where to drop it off, there's enough for 2 layers of 3/4".
-
I've got a 50" wide roll of 1.5 oz csm mat, probably 10 or 15 yards left on it you guys are welcome to have for the project. We just have to get it up there, I saved the box it came in.
-
I used to have a spare transom gasket around somewhere...I'll try to look tonight.
-
Looks like I'll have glass and plywood.
-
I don't have a whole lot to donate, maybe some 140 spare parts if needed. Shift, throttle cable. Carb but I think his old 6 carb should be the same.
-
I'm in for whatever, have some parts on the donor boat Brandon is getting the motor from.
-
I have a big roll of glass mat that I'll donate...
-
Time to get this thread back to the top.
Jeff is working out the details to move the boat, engine, & parts.
We will update members when work has been scheduled.

Jeff, let me know if I can help some how. I have my old truck and a snowmobile trailer too.

Talked to Tom,Jim,Shawn
Shawn was kind enough to store the boat at his place, not sure at this time if the work will be done there all depends on when the 23 comes in for rebuild.
Plans are to move the stuff this Saturday let say at 10:00am, Tom is busy with work he is trying to start a painting business ( anybody that hates painting as much as I do give Tom a call).
Jim will bring his pickup with trailer to haul motors and misc. I will bring wifes truck to move boat. Tom said there is a cherry picker, and all motors are on pallets.
Not sure of Toms address hope he will post it, Anybody wanting to help show up.
-
I know this is his place. Just not sure what the house number is. I'll make it if I can. I might be putting a clutch in a Subaru tomorrow morning.

-
Do I need to bring my truck as well and do we have a tarp or cover for the boat? as it will be in the back yard by the jet ski's.
-
Boat is outside all covered and tarped. Not really sure if you need to bring your truck Shawn. Hate to say it but will let you know Sat morn.

Just thought I would chime in and say this is great to see!... don't think there is much I can do from San Antonio, but if you happen to see some parts or whatever in my neck of the woods, I would be willing to help out where I can.

I agree with Mark, it is great to see everyone helping out. Amber and I are planing a few more trips to MN in the next 2 to 3 months. If you need some parts brought up from KS, NE, IA, MO, or SD we would be willing to pick it up or pull it along on our next trip.
-
I'll be at Tom's around 10:00 AM with my utility trailer.
Call me if you need anything else.
Jim
-
I'll be there also at 10:00am
Will have the yukon to pull the boat with.
-

Also i will leave the service door to house unlocked if you and Jim need to use the bathroom or have a beer or whatever.

Tom has mentioned in the past that his prop needs touching up. If it still does, drop it off tomorrow at my house in Shoreview, or give it to Jim and I can pick it up at his work in the Midway area.
-
Tom's boat is now at Shawn's waiting for the transon install.
We decided to wait til after the holidays.
Let's discuss the details at the February breakfast meeting.
