I had few more bow caps made and inquired about having the louvers reproduced. I can have the made one by one at the foundry for an estimated $75 each. At that price would be a sand cast finish that would need a good deal of finishing. They can be cleaned up with a belt sander and polished resulting in a much more durable louver than the original plastic louvers. They could also be chrome plated, painted, powder coated ect. If a large quantity of them, 15 sets or more, could be ordered the price could be reduced to around $50 each (unpolished). I will need a set for my CV-16V8 and I may get a set for the CV-21. I think Glastron used the same vent louver on most all the boats so this should fit all the Carlson boats aside from the CV-27.

I have 12 extra bow caps if anyone wants one, sand cast finish. Cost was $25 each. Pay the what ever shipping plus that and you can have one. I can polish them eventually for a few more bucks but I do not know when I will get to the polishing These were cast from an original in near perfect shape. They fit all the CV and CVX boats from CV/CVX-16 to the CV-23. The GT150/160 are a different part and this will not fit without trimming the rub rail.
