Got enough crap cleaned out of the carport, I dragged the 67 home from the neighbors and shoved it back under there "to sit awhile," and drove the 74 Val back under there as well. Surprisingly, that thing did not need jumped, since LAST AUGUST, and cranked about THREE SECONDS before it started.

Got the '59 15ft Crestliner Voyager back into the front yard. It is a sad mess. I did not even cover it up this winter. Full of leaves, etc

Anyhow, the great neighbor across the street INSISTED that I come stay with them until I got this trailer to exist in, and I decided that as old as I am, all the energy this fire rebuild is taking out of me, and the fact that I own him something I can never repay, and last, when i bought this boat, he really drolled over the little thing. So I gave him the boat, no motor, he just wants to row it, he says, and the trailer.

He also hosted all that **** all winter long in his back yard.

Trailer is an old EZ loader, works real good, good winch, catwalk along the tongue. It too is a mess, and will need douched out. We'll have to put seats back into it. Photos from better times:

I sold my 1954 Cadillac several years ago after restoring it. The Merc 300 did not have electric start. You had to rope it over by hand. Always started and that 4 cylinder ran like a sewing machine.

I haven’t had my 58 12’ Crestliner Jetstreak in the water for about 10 yrs, but I did pull it to a Mopar show last spring
