I believe his plan is to drop it off with the guy I'm using for my 23 interior in St Paul.

With all the cold weather and rain I finally got the floor cut & tabbed.
Also, the rear seat came out nice!

Looks good Jim - I was wondering WTF was taking you so long to get something done on that 23!

When's the first run on Tonka gonna be? You go out and buy yourself a Corvette to now that you got a boat with SBC V8 power!

New tow vehicle too?

Yea, got rid of Tacoma & Silverado, 5.6 Titan does a great job pulling CV 23.

Jim, My Corvette was sitting right there in the shed next to your boat when you picked it up this week, if you would have just asked you could have taken that home with you also. You even had a spare driver with you at the time, you need to think these things through a little better...now you need to make a second trip.

This Glastron forum is becoming more of a car forum, with my Honda Accord, Jason's Mustang, Jim's Titan, Gregg's Corolla, and Tom's Corvette.

Just wait, Doran will get his Corvette, Brian his Hellcat (or Demon), and Joe some beater that he will fix up better than all the other cars in our group.

Tom, you haven't quoted us a price yet! But if it's free, I'm on my way!

The good;

Thanks to the hard work of Jeff & Joe the floor now has a layer of CSM and a gel coat.

The Bad;

Inspection by professionals, Joe & Jeff, found water in oil.
They drained crankcase, flushed, refilled & ran with water, it's trash!

Well crap. Now what?

Hyperacme · « **Reply #34 on:** June 01, 2017, 06:26:20 AM »

New motor ?
Or
Find a donor boat with a 350 ?

Ls2 like what's in my Trailblazer or a marine Ls3, stock they are like 425 to 450 HP.

74 Carlson the II · « **Reply #39 on:** June 01, 2017, 07:14:34 PM »

And they are both aluminum block and heads, ls2's are getting cheaper.
