Interested In CVX-20
« on: April 30, 2015, 06:39:43 PM »
Hello,

I'm looking into maybe a CVX-20 Jet, maybe next year or so, but was wondering about availability for future reference. I'm looking into the Free to 2,000 dollar range so most likely a bit of a junker, and in New England, any condition really. Minnesota forum may be the wrong place to put this, but if anyone has any knowledge of any around here, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

-Isaiah

Nothing is more expensive than a free boat.  Our beloved Carlson's are neither cheap nor easy to properly restore.  Save your pennies, do your homework, look at lots of boats, and talk to folks who own or have owned glastrons.  Personally a CVX-20 in good running/looking shape is going to be in the 6 to 8 grand range.  Deals are out of there, it does happen occasionally.  Good luck, Plug check.

Keep your eye on the 'GOTD' thread in the for sale section...when you see one, just be prepared to jump on it.  Good Luck in your quest!

I had a gorgeous silver one. If you want one ready to go expect to pay in the $6,000 range. If you get a basket case and plan to restore it properly you'll spend close to twice that much.  We're here to help you either way.
