CV-23 are a big project. Here is a link to my thread I did a complete restore on one. I love it now that its done. I would also consider going to the forward windshield. It gives you more room I think. If you have any questions feel free to reach out.

I see it's at RSI U work there?
I just surveyed a boat that was in the shop there a couple weeks ago.

Looks like you go this one:

Did you get the trailer too?
The CV23 is an awesome boat. Are you going to make any money restoring it? No. Do you want to make a custom one of a kind CV23? Do you like working on old boats? If you answered yes to the last to questions then go for it!

Thanks Bill for saving another one.
It will be a big project but worth it in the end.

Glad to see another Glastron avoid the landfill. Shawn's 23 thread would be a good read as your just starting the resto.

They are beautiful looking boats, definitely a big project but be well worth it in the end, something you can be proud of. Shawns thread is a very good build and great thread to read!
I am working on a 23 myself, had to do stringers and transom as well. Been a year into it and still lots to do!

Congratulations Bill!
The project will seem less of a challenge once you get all the bad cleaned out.
Does Jenni know?
