Cool vintage pics. Sorry to hear about your mom's passing.
Edit to add unrelated pic:
So that's where it went!

Current 10mm hide and seek champion!
Who is able to tell what car that came out of by the Motocraft part number *without* looking it up?

I spent last week on the Maine coast and I'm having a serious urge for a lobster boat. My grandfather had one when I was a child. I loved riding in it.
Trish and I used to rent a Sabre 38 sailboat on Chesapeake Bay for two weeks. Tucked in behind an island on the Severn River one night, an older couple dropped anchor near us. They had a crabber, similar to a lobster boat, converted to a houseboat. Extended the cabin and added a screened porch out back, what better place to be in a storm?
Not the actual boat, but if happily married do not click here.

Mine's actually the first hull type that Chaparral ever sold, a 15 footer. It's a '73, but I think they sold the first one in '71 or '72. Every boat company had a virtually interchangeable tri hull in the 70s that looked like that, and it seems like every family had one. Mine's got the original 85HP Evinrude V-4 on it and was just touching 34mph with 3 people in it and the bimini up this weekend. We love running it around the marshes down there butit's not enough boat to get out on the sound. We keep looking at larger dual consoles, something like a Key West 2020 or a Pioneer 197, but the little boat is such a great little ride it's hard to think about getting rid of it. It's just a little too small to really hang out all day on the lake or cross the sounds on the coast though.
The lobster boat is cool. Reminds me of a larger, better kept crab boat from down south. I wonder what they draft?
(not mine, but same hull. This one was restored by Chaparral on thier anniversary.)

I would totally change the B-pillar stripes to say that if it was mine. I had thoughts of doing something similar with my old Subaru Loyale 4WD station wagon.

On the ground the wings just hang out, hit 25 mph or so and they raise up 3 feet each. 60 miles from home at ~5,000 feet, you can coast all the way and still make it. Luckily you sit forward of the wing so don't get to see all that flex nonsense.

But the axle nut is staked!
The local PD had this painted. Awesome idea.
The obvious answer is drink at home so you don't need either, like a normal alcoholic.

Not to mention you can park it on the shoulder and run radar. Who slows down for a taxi even if it does have crap on the roof?
