Glastron Carlson CVX-18

Up for sale is a 1986 Glastron Carlson CVX-18 that has been very well cared for. It has a 5.7 liter Chevy 350 for the power plant producing 270 HP with a MerCruser AlphaOne outdrive and a stainless steel prop. As you can imagine, this is a very fun boat; it is short (18 feet) and light with a lot of power. I've had it up to 64mph on the GPS.This is a great speed boat looking for a new home. As with all boats this age, it needs a fair amount of work every summer to keep it running. As I am only on the lake for a short time each summer, I need something a little more turnkey. The boat is sold as-is and all sales are final. Please conduct all inspectiona and ask all questions prior to bidding.I've owned the boat for six years and have meticulously cared for the boat -- The boat has always been covered, always properly winterized, always stored inside and all standard maintenance has been performed on a regular basis. (oil, filters, plugs, belts, ect)Additionally, the following has been done while in my care: Complete trailer rebuild Custom matching full Sunbrella mooring cover Carburetor rebuilt All floatation and wood replaced in the stern Added space for a second battery Installed marine speakers New thermostat New speedometer and spedo pickup Replaced all bellows New 700 GPH bilge pump All through-hull fittings have been resealed West-System fiberglass and epoxy touch-ups on the hull Many more things that I cannot recall right nowThe boat had the interior redone (look at the photos, it is in mint condition!) and the gas tank replaced prior to my purchase.Mechanically, the boat is in top shape. The gelcoat has some scratches that go with the age of the boat and could use a good buffing. But, the metal flake paint still shines in the sun! I imagine that the hull could use a little more fiberglass touchup. Structurally, the boat feels solid but I have a feeling that some work will need to be done in the next few years.It makes me sad to part with this boat -- I hope to find a great home where it will be well cared for.Please contact me with any questions.
