1978 Glastron CVX20
« on: April 25, 2024, 01:31:19 AM »
Hello all!

My grandpa bought this in 1978 and it was a family fun boat, I learned to water ski on it when I was around 10 years old. It hasn't seen water for 20 years and I spent the last 11 years doing a full restoration on it, we love it very much! Well today was it's first splash after all these years and it was a blast! So many good old memories on this boat, and now my kids can learn to ski on the same boat and have it when they grow up.

Looks very nice indeed,

I just purchased a 1977 CVX20 with the ford 460.....need to replace the carburetor (holley).  I notice your carburetor looks new, might I ask what you are running, and how you like it?
