Drove 3 hrs to look at 1986 CVX18. Had nice updated interior. 350 Engine runs, no idea how many hours, trim piston was leaking, and skeg was ground away.
Floor was soft in front of and under rear bench seat. Other floor areas were solid. The owner would not let me poke at stringers, engine mount, or transom -- just visual inspection.
Owner wanted $6500 firm for his $3000 boat, so deal breaker.
Owner was claiming the floor just needed a patch. My experience is a soft floor is going to have rotten stringers. Boats rot from the bottom up.
Maybe I am wrong and there is something unique about Glastrons can have a soft floor, but stringers are fine. Anyone have experience just patching a floor, but stringers were good ?
THANKS -
