Doran: $5 cables.

Kind of a long drive...

Is this close to you Jason? $5.00 is kind of hard to pass up.

New floor glassed into the CVX20 on Sunday. Many thanks to Jim B & Jeff R for all their work on this project. These are the kinda guys you want living next door to you!

That last photo was from a couple weeks ago, during the prep stage. Jeff was pretty dusty from grinding fiberglass & old wood out of the floor, so Jim dusted him off with the leaf blower.

Now its time for new carpet, and warm weather.

Been doing a little work last Fall and Winter!!!!

1) Rebuilt back seat and side panels, too cheap to hire an upholster so I took up sewing ... going to leave the bucket seats to a professional.

2) Installed new gauges and side mount controls.

3) Somewhere in the last 28 years we lost the center consul, so I made a small one that will hide a ski and still be not so much in the way.

4) Added a front roller and replace a bunk.

5) Stained the wood on the back.

After all these years, I think I'm going to have to do the floor, still solid but once in a while I sense a little play. Never even took the battery out this winter, pulled it out on Saturday and it started right up...go figure.

Looks good Joe, can't wait to see it in June. Well hopefully you are as lucky as I was and still have solid stringers under that floor.

I need a group of guys working on the V-195 soon! Any takers??? I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed with it, and don't want to give up!

Help! :/

I did a little work on my boat today, took off the winter cover, installed the battery, and replaced a wheel hub on the trailer. I need to get a spark plug wire terminal crimping tool to redo the wire ends on my distributor. The wires came with 90* ends and it needs to have straight ones.

Nice bench seat you built. I take it the entire back lifts up and out to access under the rear deck area. I'm thinking of doing the same with mine. How did you protect the wood frame?

I am in for help Brian, just post the details.

Just working on putting some audio in mine right now (no cutting of holes though), while the boat is still 'Gutted'. Picked up some new marine carpet at a supplier over in Brooklyn Park called Rochford Supply - http://www.rochfordsupply.com/
Save a few bucks on shipping with local pickup. They have a lot of the heavier weight marine carpets also, if you want your Glastron more 'Luxurious'.

I could probably help just depends where I am at on my project.

Bayflite73 · « **Reply #35 on:** March 20, 2012, 12:28:08 PM »

Hey Brian,

I'd love to help. It'll depend on the day/time and what's going on with the family etc. I just got back from a week and a half of constant family contact though so I may be able to work it out!

Received my new Carlson stickers for my engine cowl

Little buffing and wax should be ready for warm weather soon.
