The battery mounting block didn't come out lookin' so good ... have to rethink it ...

Paint it black, it will blend right in

Looks Great!! I'm new to this forum and have a 75 CV 16 ( what model is yours?)
I just purchased last weekend, in rough condition, however looking at your progress, I think I have my motivation to move forward

Welcome to the CGOAMN forum !
Mine is a 1976 CV16.
Start a thread with some pictures of your CV.
If you need help posting pictures let me know.

Edit...
Checked your profile, and your in GA.
There a group of owners that might be starting up a chapter.

Welcome buckz

You'll find a lot of information about restoring your CV or boats in general and also encouragement and motivation.

Got one side done ...
Only got 8 T nuts, should have got 16 ...
CRS is getting worse every day ...
The burl wood vinyl is kind of stretchy and not as bad as I thought it would be ...
Hope to get the other side done tomorrow ...

That looks really slick, Gregg.
How do you like that vinyl ?
I bought a piece of black plexi for my instrument panel, but I know it will scratch to the max when dust settles on it - had looked at that vinyl, thinking it would go down on the plexi nicely - you might have "talked" me into it with those pictures.

I'm diggin the burlwood vinyl Gregg. If nothing else it's period correct. Looks good man!

Wow Gregg, all the work is paying off. Looks like your boat is moving down the Glastron/Carlson factory production line with the steering system, carpeting, seats bases, and vinyl covering. Do you have a launch date? I got a season pass at St. Croix Bluffs Regional Park (family picnic). A just a few boat trailers in the parking lot on Friday no doubt due to the no wake rule on the St. Croix River. Sad for the owners of the high performance Baja being wiped down in the parking lot.

Looking good! You might be ready for the August meet.

Same with me.

Gregg used CRS "Complete Restoration Services"

Gregg
Is that burlwood sticky back or dry?

Hyperacme · « **Reply #271 on:** July 07, 2013, 03:10:43 PM »

Yes ... Sticky backed ... But not to sticky ... While wrapping seat base, some of the sticky sides touched the other sticky side and thought I was screwed ! But they peeled apart pretty easy.
It's also kind of stretchy so you can get the bubbles out.
I was very happy with it !

Tonka Jim · « **Reply #272 on:** July 07, 2013, 09:22:57 PM »

Looking great Gregg, keep up the good work!

Hyperacme · « **Reply #273 on:** July 08, 2013, 10:01:34 PM »

Got the other seat base done, windshield on, seats in boat but not bolted/screwed down yet ...
Should get them screwed/bolted down tomorrow night ...

Getting closer Gregg!!

Rosscoe · « **Reply #275 on:** July 08, 2013, 10:08:27 PM »

Almost splash time! You'll be out before the meet, no sweat.

Looks like a boat again!

David CVX-16 · « **Reply #277 on:** July 09, 2013, 09:06:13 AM »

I'm worried that Gregg's boat is now faster than mine with the motor raised 2." Thinking I should not let him test my Mercury props. LOL

Gregg, let me know when you want to prop test.

Hyperacme · « **Reply #278 on:** July 09, 2013, 06:33:55 PM »

Dave
I'm pretty sure your hull will always be faster and more stable then mine ...
We lost 12 more people at work, so I'll be going to second shift with Fri. & Sat. off ...
Not what I was hoping for ... but at least I got some of the weekend off and can take vacation days on Sunday if needed ...

I'll still need some help getting transom wedge's in ... Any one care to hold a motor while I slip some wedges in ? ... LOL

Really looking great Gregg, nice work!
