Mid 80’s 23 foot SilverWing.
525 blown Chevrolet.
Casale vdrive with a turbo 400.
Installation wise it came to me with the vdrive and engine installed along with propshaft rudder and plates installed.
I’ve had to build and mount everything else including steering, all of the helm, battery boxes had to be custom made, all electrical, fuel system, waterlines and exhaust, oil cooler, etc.
The tricky part of this cruiser is everything has to be contained between the stringers.
It’s been a challenge but fun.
In the home stretch now. View attachment 1268766

Trump Store in TN

Then next to the Trump Store was this little bonus museum—Cooters
Cool little museum—free to get in. Lots of 70’s and 80’s memorabilia—saw lots of things I used to have as a kid.

Quick tire change in a sketchy parking lot

Must have hit something good, because I was cruising on the 15 and went from nothing wrong to 0 psi in a hurry.

Road construction guys must have dropped something ! Lol

I hit up the llantera shop and got everything fixed up. Had to watch some Mexican soap operas but all is good. I'll take the truck to our fleet account place and get some new treads, but atleast now I have a spare again.
