Wow, cheep thrills 2 is really getting some miles on her... I knew I had to bring it to minn.... it will be real nice to see two cv-16 v-8’s come back to life.. as far as a first boat for a daughter being a v-8.. I’m sure that hull can handle it just fine.. and I’m sure Shawn will be a good teacher..   I think someone should go get Chris’ 27 to get that back on the water again also... Jeff?

Yes it will be her first boat. However she has drove the 23 jet that had a 460 a lot. As well as the new 23 and drives our 43ft Trawler when we take it out. She probably knows more about the river and driving boats then half the other people that are out on a given weekend.
I think this has become an addiction.

1976 G/C emblem

Does anyone have one of these emblems? If so would you be willing to pull it off so we could send it over to Europe so they could make replacements of them.

Thanks

looking through catalogs, looks like it was only used in 76 CV16V8, CV18SS, and CV19SS. 1975 is very similar. Probably be a tough find. I do have it drawn in CAD. Same graphic used on the T-shirts. Could maybe create something similar from that.

I got the donor boat all stripped. Pulled the engine and all drive components. Also pulled the steering, wiring harness and throttle controls. I was really surprised that the wiring harness was all intact and didn't look like there were any splices.

     Looks frosty?    What kind of craft was it?   Looks fairly modern actually.

I have not looked to see what is under there yet. Either way I will be removing what is there and coring the deck. It is soft and sagging in spots.

From pictures you posted of your deck, looks like it has foam logs glassed under deck.
Mine has deck support board in front and behind fuel tank, I sit on my deck with out any flex.
Maybe one or both of yours are missing ?
But from where a ski bar was attached on stern of my CV, one side of deck is half the thickness as the other side.
So could be same as your deck ?
Tried walking on it once, kind of like walking on wet ice .. Never tried that again .. LOL

Maybe the CV16SS's didn't have the bow supports as they had the center console? My CV16SS does not have the bow supports that you have Gregg. Just the foam. I can walk/sit up there without much flex.

It supports it at the dash. Having additional support up front or directly in front of tank would be nice though.

Here is a better picture.

I'd assume the CV16V8 is the same.

There is no support than I noticed on the deck.
Jason if you get a chance can you get me some measurements of your center console I am thinking I am going to add one.
