Well I brought home a CVX16 today but it wasn't the one I'd planned on. Wouldya believe that lil peckerhead in Sarasota bailed at the last minute? Sob!
So, not to be discouraged. I took a drive all the freakin way to Brooksville & couldn't resist bringing this lil gem home. '81 CVX16 w/'83 140 Johnson crossflow on a massive Escort galvanized trailer w/brakes. Boats rough, no interior. Though someone 'replaced' the floor awhile back, been sitting in the weeds for God knows how long. Fenders are falling off the trailer but otherwise it's in purty good shape.
Now for the dealmaker: Don't think the motor's ever seen saltwater. Super clean. Got about 115-120 per hole. Pulled the carb bowl drains, blew some fresh gas through the turpentine & got her running. Not good but okay.
