Title: new cvx-16 owner from MN
Post by: Chaddyb on June 23, 2015, 12:15:01 PM
Hi all, new member/owner from N. Branch MN, I recently purchased a 1983 cvx-16. The boat functions, but will be undergoing a restoration come winter. I'm sure I will be on here asking questions.

Welcome.

Post a few pictures when you can, your in the right place.  Sounds like a good plan, enjoy the boat this summer and tinker on it over the winter.

This will get you started:

Oops forgot pics, I don't have many, as it's not much to look at yet.

Right now, I'm trying to get everything mechanical working correctly. There's been years of neglect. The floor is soft, and the transom has a small crack, although it feels fairly solid. It has an 88hp evinrude on it, I just  got done adding power tilt and trim to it. The fastest I've gotten it to go is 43mph gps (before tilt and trim was added) with a 23p omc prop. I will be splitting the hull this winter and doing a ground up restore. Eventually I'd like to add a bigger motor, but for now I want to get it rock solid, so I will probably use the 88 for a couple more years.
