https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1979-glastron-cvx-18/?fbclid=IwAR17GhE2BjADZB7l8egyg5Bk8GQtH8yQzmmnIIC1bdgK1whpnISoQnvmglUThis 1979 Glastron CVX-18 is an 18-foot fiberglass speedboat that is said to have remained with the same family from 1993 through 2022, when it was acquired by the selling dealer. The boat is finished in champagne metalflake and white over a reupholstered tan interior and is powered by a replacement 400ci V8 linked with a forward/reverse transmission and a Mercruiser outdrive. The engine is equipped with a Holley four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock intake manifold, and an EMI exhaust system. Additional features include front bucket seats and a rear bench as well as a tinted windscreen, navigation lights, and a wood swim platform with a two-step ladder. Work since 2022 has involved fitting a wood-rimmed steering wheel, flushing the fuel system, and installing a replacement fuel filter as well as replacing the tires for the included single-axle trailer. This CVX-18 is now offered in Washington at no reserve with a boat cover as well as Mercruiser literature and clean Oregon titles for the boat and trailer.
The fiberglass hull measures approximately 18′ long with a 7.5? beam and is finished in champagne metalflake and white. The boat features a rub rail, a tinted windscreen, louvered engine compartment vents, and navigation lights as well as a wood swim platform with a two-step ladder.
The cockpit houses front bucket seats and a rear bench that were reupholstered in tan vinyl with orange piping in 2018, according to the selling dealer. Grab bars, cupholders, storage compartments, wood dash trim, and tan carpets are further details.
The starboard-side helm features a three-spoke wood-rimmed steering wheel that was installed in July 2022 accompanied by a lever-style hand throttle and shifter. Instrumentation consists of a 65-mph speedometer, a tachometer, and gauges for coolant temperature, oil pressure, and voltage. Controls for the outdrive trim are mounted to the right of the steering column. The boat is not equipped with an hour meter, and total runtime is unknown.
The replacement 400ci V8 is said to have been rebuilt before being installed under previous ownership in 1994. It is fitted with an MSD ignition, a four-barrel Holley carburetor, an Edelbrock aluminum intake manifold, and an EMI Thunder exhaust system. The fuel tank and fuel lines were flushed and the fuel filter was replaced in August 2023.
Power is sent to the three-blade Mercury Vengeance 21P propeller through a forward/reverse transmission and a Mercruiser outdrive.
The single-axle trailer features 15″ wheels that were mounted with 205/75 Towstar tires in 2022. Further equipment includes a manual winch, a rolling tongue jack, nonskid step plates, carpeted bunks, and street lighting. The trailer is not equipped with brakes.
