Looking to Buy CVX20 Jet
« on: May 30, 2019, 01:59:25 AM »
I am looking to buy a CVX 20 Jet that has been very well cared for or fully restored.

If you have this special boat and have been thinking about selling, drop me a note.

Will entertain anything between 10 to 20K price range.

Thanks

JF

Take a look in the GCOTD thread, Greg does a great job of searching out Glastrons for sale around the country and posts the ads in that thread.  There have been several nice 20s for sale lately.  Good luck in your quest!

I check Craigslist, Facebook & eBay every day or two, and Kijiji every week and post to the GCOTD thread.
I don't find every G/C on search's, as some are just listed as "Boat for sale" or don't come up in search until a few days to weeks latter.
I do search our local CL for G/C's but can't do that for entire country. Not enough hours in a day … LOL

I search .. "glastron carlson" , "glastron" , "glasstron" and sometimes "carlson" & "hammond"
I've been using "Searchtempest" for CL & eBay ..  https://www.searchtempest.com/
and Kijiji for Canada ..  https://www.kijiji.ca/
Also the Glastron groups and Marketplace on Facebook.

Everyone dreams of finding a G/C that was used once and put away in a garage for 40 years, and is 3 miles from your location for $5000. Chance's of that are pretty slim ..
Then there's the boat that's "Totally Rebuilt" which could just be a piece of plywood over a wet, rotted floor and a aluminum plate on transom.
The perfect G/C is out there .. It's just on the other side of the country ..

Looks like your in Canada, so prices are a bit higher up north.
Price's in general are increasing for any Glastron / Carlson.
Some of the nice one's are going for well over $10,000 now.

Thank you for your feedback. It is greatly appreciated.

I am going to be patient and hopefully find the “right one”.

Yes I am located in Canada but have bought several boats and cars in the US. It is a lot easier these days to make such purchases safely.

I will be checking your thread daily and thank you so much to keep an eye for all of us.

Hoping to be roosting this summer 😬

There was a very original 1976 CVX20 on CL.
Post is gone now .. Not sure if sold or just removed.
Price was reasonable at $8000 .. I think ..
