Looking for a new winter project
« on: September 14, 2011, 08:59:32 PM »
I've been pondering a winter project, I would like to find an old Glastron, but this Fleetform showed up on C/L.  I've  seen a few on the internet but never around these parts.  Any thoughts, he is asking $650 but I bet I could buy it for $450.

Hard to tell by the pic but it almost looks like the transom is buckled? Maybe its suppose to be that way?

Well...there's a total rebuilder CVZ-19 in Appleton, WI for $150...no trailer...I'm awaiting pictures.

It'd be a parts boat for me, but if someone wants to bring it back to life, I'm all for stepping aside.

I may be interested in the CVZ that is what I was looking for.  I just bought a CV-16 for a project I go pick it up friday. Dont think it needs much work as it has been stored covered inside for the last 10-15 years post or send me some pics like i said i may be interested.

That looks like the 16' Commodore. I've got a '59 Spitfire which was a Mpls made knock off of the Fleetform.

That looks sweet Dane. Did you restore it or buy it that way? Looks like new.

That motor looks to be about an 80HP?

Ross,

My Dad bought a new Spitfire like this as a surprise Christmas present for the family and it led to the purchase of our lake cabin. My oldest brother searched for long time to find a boat like our first one. He found a nice yellow one that was the right model and year and had it redone in blue a couple years before he died. I bought the boat from my sister in law to honor the memory of my brother and father.

I like the lines on that. It looks well built. Is it heavy?
Looks like a long reach back to tilt the motor up!

That boat really reminds me of the lines on the new GT160.
