just keep hanging around, there is a lot to learn here, in the meantime ... what do you want for your old boat ?  being that it's in Nevada, and this is a north eastern website, and I'd meet you half way :)

thats about the milage I get with my little motor home pulling the scimitar, down hill   :D
Really ... I don't think I'm interested in your cvx-20 anymore, just thought I'd ask, if one shows up by winter, good deal, if not, don't matter to me.  I'd probably just cut in half if I had it anyway, and I wouldn't want to up-set anyone.
 but I'm not afraid to stick a saw into one.

I live in Minnesota. I love Elko. first time there was 1965l It was a small town in the middle of nowhere. It's a lot bigger now, but the Polar Bear is still at the Commercial Hotel. what are you doing with boats in the middle of the desert? no wonder you can't sell it. Move to Minnesota. Everyone has their own lake here.

An Elko story.
we stayed at the Commercial and I was up all night playing cards and Dottie went to bed, so in the morning I went in the back seat to sleep. We had a 64 Dodge Polara Convert with a 426. We had been on the rodr for about 1/2 hr and she woke me up'
"Jerry"
what?
"Are you sure there's no speed limit in Nevada?"
There's no speed limit, Why?
"There's a car gaining on me"
how fast you going?
"I don't know the speedo only goes to 120"
Maybe you should slow down
Well the lights came on and a nice patrolman came up and told her the sign said "Resume safe speed" and I had you on radar at over 120 MPH. Slow down please.
"yes sir"

        Hahahahahahahahahahahah that is funny nice car a convert with a wedge 4 speed? How long did you have the car? I had a chance to buy a 426 wedge convert here this year but it needed total resto and there was no engine. I would of loved to get it but I just didnt have the shop space to restore it and the engine was gone.

Your the guy I want to sell it to. Tell you what give me a couple of days to get it out and clean it up and take some good pictures I want to clean the seats the front seats have been recovered and the back ones have been recovered let me get every thing out of it and lay out all the parts. One of the tires is flat went and got some new tires yesterday for it but I am on a customers boat today and had to take my Mom to the hospital Sunday just now gettting back on track. She is doing a lot better. Once I have every thing cleaned up and some good pictures I will come up with a figure. It will do me good to see this go to a good home and back in the water! Give me a couple of days ok ?  I will PM you and give you my email address. Thanks
