I know, that prop is one of the most expensive props someone can purchase. But it compliments the handling of the boat so well. I can't think of the money I have spent, in no way shape or form is this economically beneficial for me. It just kind of happened this way. Ok I admit I have been googling that CVX for a while and couldn't believe it hadn't sold yet.... I just had to go see it. My girlfriend thinks I am a little nuts because I even spent a 4 day elbow greased, light wet sand/compound buff and wax on the CV and still went out and purchased the CVX. The gelcoat looks better, and under certain light conditions looks awesome, But one could spend some more time working on it. I will definitely miss the CV. I just hope that someone who has been wanting one, and who will take care of it pops up with 3500 so I can have the funds, and the room to do work on the CVX. Not to mention how much hell I will have to hear when the weather gets cold and she wants to park her car in the garage. The CVX handles different then the CV. Not as sharp and crisp. The CV feels like a sports car on rails, and the CVX is kinda more like a muscle car. I want to take out the flooring, and put carpet back in. Reupholster the seats and side pads. The CVX engine runs strong but loads up, or gets a little shaky while trolling. So I will investigate that and try and improve it's performance. There was so many spiders living in the CVX I am actually thinking of having a web print on the canter back rest, possibly. It could be a spiderman boat. The CVX needs a tachometer before I start my search for the right prop. The tach in it is shaky, and doesn't read at all most the time. It's got a 17 pitch prop and did 48mph on GPS. Funny how I have not broken that 48mph mark in either boat. The CVX came with original manual books, very cool. After spending an entire day on Minnetonka bilge area was bone dry, only water in the boat was from the integrated coolers in the rear from the melted ice. Steering is confident and snug, but a little stiff in comparison to the CV. Will have to see what props change that next season.
