Long time member, finally getting around to working on the CV23.
Check out my YouTube channel for the boat progress!

Cool video
Check for HIN on right side of stern, just under rub rail for year and month built.
Last four digits in number are ..
M= model year
XX = year built
X = Month built
More HIN info ..
http://forum.cgoamn.com/index.php?topic=5964.0
After you find year you can get info and brochures here ...
https://www.glastron.com/us/catalogs-and-product-information
At the bottom of most pages on above link are " Product Information Guides " with more spec's and info.
There are also "Owners Manuals" here ... not a lot of info though ..
https://www.glastron.com/us/owners-manuals
Looks like your new boat is a late 90's GS185 SF.
Trailer under your CV23 is a Glastron trailer ..

This info is awesome! OK so the CV23 is an 88 and according to the carlson models PDF, it's actually a CVX-23, and the GS is a 1997
I always thought it was a CV because of the text on the placard left of the steering wheel.

1988 was the only year for CVX23. 1976-1987 it was CV23. 1989-90 it was known as 23CSS. 1990 was the last year.

Can you find a spot were paint is chipped and see original color ?
In 1988 the "Wrap around windshield" was an option ..

It's hard to tell the original color, it looks like it could be red, but under the outdrive area is a metallic black.

Yes, that matches my interior and the paint by the outdrive. New video is up, I got it started!
