Hi. My name is Steve. We have a place on Forest Lake, in Forest Lake, MN. My parents got a brand new 1978 cvx16 when I was 5 years old. We grew up waterskiing and cruising the lake. About 5 years ago we bought a 1977 cvx20 with the original Johnson 200 hp motor. We mainly use it for cruising now, since the kids aren’t as interested in water sports and I had a knee replacement. I’m torn between keeping and selling because we just don’t use it much anymore. On the other hand, I LOVE the boat. Nice to meet you guys and your cool boats!
See you on the water! Steve

Welcome.

I think we are going to need a pictures of that machine. :)

Is it the Silver/Gray or Orange/White?  And I always wondered what that machine topped out at?

Hi there, I'm a newbie here, and have been reading through a lot of information on here, which is absolutely amazing.
Middle of last year we purchased a CVX 20 jet, such a cool boat. However I'm not sure what year it is and how to spot the differences 76, 77 or 78?
I'm sure someone can help me out.
Regards, Janvier & Sue

Welcome to the forum Janvier & Sue !
Look under swim platform on right side for serial number.
Should start with GCV ... last number will be year.

Well, I'll be... thank you Greg, I never noticed that under there, turns out she's a '76.
Certainly draws a small crowd when launching the boat, then their eyes pop when it fires up.
Thank you again, really appreciate all your knowledge.
Cheers, from down under.

Hey everyone, my name is Scott Brown.  I am just shy of 40  :o (when did that happen), I am a transplant to central MN, originally from a small town in SW MO and lived in Tulsa from 01 until December 31 of 2014 when we moved to MN (moving to MN in the winter is NOT a good idea btw).  I grew up on a small farm, hunting and fishing in the fields and ponds I could walk to.  Since moving to MN I have rekindled that love of hunting and fishing with my amazing wife encouraging me the entire time (anything to get me out of her hair lol) I have never owned or even driven a boat, but hopefully the weather holds and I can pick up my first boat in a few days, a 1979 HPV 165.  I have a 7 YO son that can't stop talking about the boat and how many fish we're going to catch now.  Thanks for everything so far.

We really do love it here.  So many in MO/OK said I wouldn't make it through the first winter here.  My friends have shown me some great lakes ice fishing.  I am looking forward to discovering some more when the ice comes off.  We are in Sauk Centre.

Welcome Cliff!
I think you are the first member from Ireland but there is a good following in Europe in General. Cool GT150. Looking forward to seeing your progress. Keep us updated. I love Ireland. Once you get her done you'll have to take it for a ride out to the Skellig Islands!

Welcome to the forum Cliff ...
Keep up the good work !
Looking forward to watching you rebuild her ...

On your emblem ... Is there a "LaRaYa" on bottom (Red Circle) part ?

My names Mel. I have been posting elsewhere on my rebuild of a 1973 v179.I have found this forum extremely helpful. I have had a few boats before but never had to get in to it like on this one.  I also ran a small boat in the US Army at one time. I live in Northern Utah which has weather somewhat like  Minnesota. We often have long winters ( up to nine months and our record low in the mountains was -63 in 1985 )-I live in a mile high mountain valley with several streams and lakes nearby. Camping Fishing and outdoors are a passion and I also gold prospect and rock hound. I also keep a pretty good size garden each year.Im still exploring the forum for hints and ideas when I can.Here is a picture of my home town which I love

Good evening everyone!

My name is John Collier, originally from Trinidad in the Southern Caribbean and now residing in Fort Lauderdale, Fl.

After significant efforts and searching, I scored my 1977 T166 and she’s undergoing a complete re-fit.  I’m not hands on with the project due to time constraints and lack of expertise.  However, I’m intimately involved in the project details (ohhh, and paying the bill ;)

Really glad to be on the forum and hope to add value.  Any tips, suggestions on the rebuild- please, please, please feel free to share.

Cheers!
