1976 CV 16 V8 Complete Rebuild
« on: November 01, 2018, 11:02:56 AM »
A few people already known but I bought the Orange CV-16 V8 from Joe. I will be doing a full rebuild with my daughter on it. It needs pretty much everything and is a total project. It will get all new wood/ composite not sure yet? It will be sprayed with purple flake and white or cream, not sure yet. The bow feels like it will need to be recored. The dash is cracked, along with many scrapes, gouges, etc. It will get a 305 or small 350 (its for my daughter remember) Or maybe a 383 with a limiter.

I got lucky and already picked up a project parts boat for the drive and all the other parts. Motor is bad. Parts boat is a 1993 Starcraft so I will have a gen 2 drive for the boat and all the updated things that go with it. It will be a similar build to what I did with the CV-23. I plan to blueprint the hull, it has gouges and cracks on it as well. Forgot to look to see if there is any hook in the 16 hull. If so not sure if I will take it out or not.

Wish me luck.

I think this has become an addiction.

    First order of business has got to be filling in that massive hole in the transom.     Looks like it would make a fine first craft.   Have to admit, that is an interesting trailer its sitting on.   Probably seem like a tiny rebuild compared to your 23.    Hope to see progress, you'll likely be done with it before the water softens knowing your skills.

Cool! Looking forward to it. I’m curious to see if a SBC will fit under that cover.  These hills really can’t do much over 55. Safely anyway. Was always curious if a pad could be added. Is it going to be a race between you and Joe to see who gets done first??

I agree Jason It will be interesting to see if or what I have to modify to fit the GM instead of the Ford. However there are some out there and the look pretty original. Nice thing about fiberglass it is easy to remove, replace and add more.

The hull/ floor looks like it has some deteriorated glass on it. I am guessing I will have to grind the ENTIRE inside of the hull and add a layer of glass to it.

Can't remember his name, but he had a 350/Mercruiser, think he was talking 70 MPH ?

Just found this on a web site. Looks like it is not much of a difference.

The charts will give you overall height, length and width of a fully dressed engine (oil pan, intake and carburetor, front accessory drives, exhaust). These measurements are general, and can vary depending on what equipment you or the factory installed.

Chevrolet 262-400

Dimensions: 26 inches wide, 28 inches long, and 27 inches tall
Weight: 575 pounds
Sump Location: Rear
Starter Location: Right

Ford 221-351W

Dimensions: 24 inches wide, 29 inches long, and 27.5 inches tall
Weight: 460 pounds
Sump Location: Front
Starter Location: Left

Not sure if CV16SS's hulls were the same as CV16 outboards, but are you going to extend inter stake/chine ?
First two pictures are CV16 O/B hull's.
Second two are CVX16/C-500 hulls, one with inter stake/ chime extended.

Greg, That was a different engine. it was a 283 or a 327 something not as common.

Mine has the more rounded hull bottom without the full strake. Any ideas on the numbers or handling on the longer strake and small pad area?

The first two pictures above are a CV16 outboard, your hull should look like that.
Bottom two pictures are CVX16 or C-500 hulls, Doug's Buddy's in Florida, that extended there stake/ chines on there boats (last picture).

Don't know any one who has modified a CV16 hull ..
Wouldn't extended stake/chine act as a sort of pad ?

That engine with information is misleading, the 221 - 302 is narrower than 351W
The only website I found it lists the information says
302 - 18 3/4”
351w - 21”

     Don't get me wrong, I'm all about big power in little boats, but isn't this being built as a first boat for your daughter?   I'd look at a merc 140 as the best option.
