1977 Glastron Carlson CVX-16ss Project - $600 (Glencoe)
https://sacramento.craigslist.org/boa/d/glencoe-1977-glastron-carlson-cvx-16ss/7883633520.htmlThis is a 1977 Glastron/Carlson CVX-16ss with 120hp 4-cylinder engine, and OMC stringer outdrive with the power trim option. I bought this 12 years ago with the intention of restoring, but accumulated too many projects in the meantime and this has been left untouched.
The hull is in very good condition with minimal scratches. The silver metalflake is rough, but very restorable with wet sanding. The windshield is cracked in several places on the left side, but all there. The floor and transom both feel solid. Needs new upholstery.
I have not investigated the mechanical condition of the engine, outdrive, or gauges. What I can say is that the propeller shaft turns freely and feels good, the steering isn't frozen, and the throttle linkage moves normally. Looks complete except it's missing the key switch and the spark arrestor on the carburetor. Engine hours are unknown since it doesn't have a meter.
Includes a 1978 TrailRite trailer with Bearing Buddies. Bearings have been checked and they turn smoothly. The tires are old, but still look good and don't leak. Nice chrome modular wheels and swing-away jack. The lights don't work, so will come with a set of magnetic tail lights to get you home. The coupler takes a 2" ball.
Boat and trailer have California titles in my name, and both are currently registered.
I also have many other project Carlsons I would sell if you're interested in a different model, but I don't have pictures and they haven't been prepped for sale yet. Call, text, or email if interested. Thanks for looking.
