passenger side looks to be a mirror image.

Not quite a mirror image. Don't forget about the cut out on the drivers side where the throttle handle is. That's the only part that is different from the passenger side.

I can't believe I wasted 350 posts between the 2 other sites only to come here and get SOOOO much more help!

You guys are unbelievable.........thank you soooooo much

Frame should be the same though. yea, don't cut two throttle cut out's! unless you want the passenger to control the throttle!

I wish I would have had all this information back before I spent $400 on new back-to-back seats from Overtons........

I'm going to start building some Original style seats to put into the boat in a couple of years. Now I have all the info I need to make them right! 3/4" Oak base and go from there........

I also know how the OEM seats were mounted so I know how to mount these Overton's Deluxe seats. Depending on how these Overton's seats go, I may keep them till they're worn out and make the OEM seats for when I tear it down and restore the rest of the boat right! Or until I find that next CV16 that comes along and gets my attention.........

Here's the seats I bought:

Those seats look nice! They should get you by for a while. Post some pics of your boat when you get a chance.

Paul
Go here to download the 1974 Glastron/Carlson brochure and price & spec sheet .

For the seat brackets I would use aluminum angle instead of stainless, Lighter, cheaper and much eazeir to work with.

CVX Fever · « **Reply #110 on:** May 09, 2010, 09:22:08 PM »

Yep that's what I did. One of those brackets fatigued on the rear seat of my CVX16 and cracked. I made two new ones this spring out of aluminum angle I got at the hardware store.

And ditto on using SS hardware. I'm amazed at how corroded some of the hardware was on both my CVX's considering they were fresh water boats. I can't imagine what that stuff would have looked like if they were salt water boats.

Hey Gregg,

That google docs takes me to my google docs! Can you try to upload what you have and send it here or send it to my email, psholcomb31 (@) msn (dot) com

Hyperacme · « **Reply #112 on:** May 11, 2010, 02:40:35 PM »

Go here ...

Thanks for that download Gregg! What a treat to get....... I ended up rewiring most of my dad's '94 Merc 150hp today. He kept running it at a slow trolling speed/idle even after the overheat alarm was going off for 30 minutes......the powerhead got hot enough it melted the wiring for the VRO control box and the idle/advance control box! He's lucky it didn't stop injecting oil and burn up his motor.........

I have to time it tomorrow and I'm done with it so I can go back to working on my boat again. I'll post some pictures when I get to final assembly.

Isn't Minnetonka in two weeks? (26th or 27th) We're trying real hard to be there. Already voted for Sunday.
