I don't know. It's a fairly rare model. Made from 71-73. It appears to be pretty heavily molested. I don't think the seats are original either. Pleating does not look right. Flake might be ok under paint but wouldn't count on it. Probably rotten wood as they all do. The Ford part of the 302 would not be hard to find parts for the but the Volvo side of it yes. Boat may be ok but I feel it's about 1500 overpriced. I'd keep looking.....

Busy weekend !

Looked at a CVX20 jet today.  Unable to get it running.  I helped the guy troubleshoot too.  Trailer junk.  Floor was so soft I thought my foot was going to go through.  Hr. meter said 4400 hours WOW.  Windshield broken.  Wiring looked suspect.  I was so excited to find a CVX20 but then let down with the condition.  Needed a whole rebuild, ugh......  Of course, the owner was firm at $6k.  His view was after I do all the improvements, boat worth $15k. 

Looked at a 1977 Tahiti with 455 Olds and Berkeley jet $3k.   Guy just replaced the motor with a junkyard motor.  Previous motor spun bearing.  This style hull was so easy to inspect, the transom and stringers were solid.  I was getting excited.  Upholstery poor, paint poor, trailer fair, but the engine was clean and looked installed properly.  The jet was clean and also had diverter.  Fired this baby up and big block thru hull exhaust sounded awesome.  Left it running for 20 mins....  Tradeoffs were going through my mind about the condition of the boat..... then, oil milkshake coming out of dipstick tube.  Delusions of easy fixes were racing through my mind.  Then rationale hit..... I don't have a shop to fix this motor....  I just want to buy a cool boat and go boating.  LOL......  well, search continues!

I know you don’t want to come to minn. but if anyone else is interested,I’ve been watching this cvx-20 for a couple years.. talked to the owner this fall and he said he’d let it go for $2400. It’s all there. Needs the floor and possibly stringers. Has a Ford 460 that’s good and all the parts with motor cover.. now that I have to rebuild old blue I’m not going to have time for it.  Originally a blue 77 I believe
