TCU Go Frawgs !
Picked up a boat I've wanted since they were new. 1977 Glaston Carlton CVX20. Needs a total restoration.
460 big block Ford with a Berkley jet pump.
Should be good for 70-80mph when I'm done. I won't be going that fast though.
When I talked to the seller I told him I was planning on bringing a trailer and backing the boat/trailer onto my trailer. He said no need for that, the tires are good. I told him that I would just bring 3 new tires/wheels from my car hauler to swap the "good tires(dry rotted)" out. He assured me the 15" tires would fit.
Well, my tires would not fit inside the fenders and the fenders are riveted on, so I was stuck needing new tires in Cross City FL at 5:00 PM.
I repacked the wheels bearings so I need 2 grease seals. The seals I bought with me were too big. After two hours of looking I had two seals from two different stores.
One seal fit so I used it on the hub I had pulled a seal from. The other hub I just left the seal in and used Brake Kleen to clean it and repacked it with the old seal in.
I threw some temp lights on the trailer and headed to Live Oak where the mechanic(the boat was at the seller's mechanic's shop/house) told me the closest tire place(Walmart) was.
I got a phone signal at 5:20 and called Walmart. The tire Guy said they close the shop a 6:00 and to come on. I got there at 5:50 or so.
Really nice folks at the Walmart. They were on it like a NASCAR pit crew. 4 guys. They actually used a torque wrench and torqued the nuts 3 times. I told him I forgot to ask for a lug nuts that was missing and the lead guy said he put one on there and replaced the dry rotted valve stems(I forgot about the stems).
In my world 95% of the people I meet were sorry. That Walmart tire crew gave top notch service and did it right.
The boat actually came from Georgia and the seller never got it in the water. Good news. No pitting from salt water anywhere on the boat.
Gonna put the boat in the pole barn and hopefully get on it in next year.
I'm gonna have to sell some of my other junk to make room for my new junk.
It's a trip towing a 20' boat that you can't see in your mirrors.
Walmart had $2 Georgia watermelons.

Caint hide money.
Hey y'all keep your eyes out for a 1977 Glastron Carlton boat. We had one reported missing from Cross City yesterday about 5:45pm.
It looks like the guy that took it has been hanging around our area recently, as he was identified as being in & out of 2 of our auto parts stores.
Special attention to south Ga - It appears the missing boat was taken north, as it was spotted at the Walmart in Live Oak around 6pm.

I'll keep my eyes out around Watkinsville.
Is there a reward?
Just the satisfaction of doing your civic duty...

I hate paying for pumps and cranes.
I had a new framer ask me what time the crane was "going to be here" on a job a couple years ago. I pointed at his guys getting out of the van and said "the crane's here now.".
