Lisa's New Ride... :)
« on: June 11, 2012, 04:36:46 PM »
It's official!  The seller has agreed to sell me the boat next week after they get the paperwork together and I get my financing together!  We did a lot of looking around, and there were a number of very good cantidates.

As you know, Lisa and I set some parameters for what we were looking for, what we didn't want, and what we did...  After a tremendous amount of great advice from fellow board members, this is what we landed on.

It's a 1986 CV-23 with Alpha 1 Gen one drive.  It has the 5.7 powerplant, and a factory glastron dual axle trailer.  The previous owner upgraded the origional drum brakes on the trailer to disk brakes which (believe it or not) are fully functional.

Upholstry is clean and in good condition. There are a few cosmetic blemishes, but 98% of them are the types of things that we can easily fix with new rolls of accent trim tape, teak oil, and 3M marine wax.

Take a look at the photobucket photo's and tell me what you think!  I should have it in the driveway next week.

Great looking boat Brian and Lisa, congratulations.  Love the contrast in those colors with the Red metalflake and white.  Cool shelf under driver side dash for radio, I'm assuming previous owner built it?... looks stock like it's made for it.

Ya...  It sure looked stock to me.  Might be an add on, but it matches the rest of the woodwork on the boat, so if nothing else, it was well done.

Ehh ...  I've seen better ...  Heh heh

Nice find B&L. Looks like it's in great shape. Bet it'll be cool to have a lil cuddy cabin. Trailer sounds killer too.

I do have one question: If'n it's Lisa's boat, why do you need to get your financing together? Ha ha ha. Nevermind, forget I said that ...

Have fun!

Funny!  Interesting thing about it is that we are cashing out an investment of Hers!  That's why I'm calling it her boat!  She's paying for it!  :)

Great choice Lisa!!  I like it!!  Looks very familiar, and Hot Knots has that same shelf.  I was thinking it was added later, but is identical to that one.

Should provide years of enjoyment. Now you can head for the river Friday afternoon and get back late Sunday night. Colors and pattern of red, white, and blue in the upholstery look alot like mine. Sleep in it at the Red Wing Glastron meet. Congratulations.

Actually, we do!

She wants to call it "Prescription Therapy"  And of course, in her creative way, it's going to look different.  She is going to just have the word THERAPY on the back, and the base of the R will have the little x on it (the prescription symbol).  Then, She's talking about designing a little pill bottle decal with the words "Take every 4-6 days until symptoms dissapear".

It's sort of a play on our tough last year, and how the boat can be a better prescription to cure most anything.

Sweet boat Brian & Lisa! Beautiful colors and the 5.7/Alpha will move it along nicely.

Does it have a full canvas in back? Looks like it might. I think you said something about doing some overnighting with it.

Enjoy!
