My wife's bugging me to buy a camper. I'm thinking buy a CV27 instead.
The closer to Pa the better. I would prefer a nice hull and interior, with any drive issues.
V8's are better but will consider anything at this point.
Thanks in advance for your help! NOOOO the CV23 we have won't be for sale ;D

I'm pretty sure you already know about that jaxed site masher dealio that gives you all the CList stuff... I think there is a 27' on there.
I love this search tool BUT...
The weakest link is that it assumes people can spell chit right.
Ef pipple don no how 2 spel gulasstrawn rite then thess cite doan werk so gud.
Occasionally I will find additional ads by doing it the hard way and using google for the words "Craigslist" and "glas" and then "cv". If I get more specific than that, I lose all the ads written by morons.
I even found a cvx the other day that was listed as a glasspar not a glastron. :screwy:

;D Ok, who's hording them? Have you guys ever even seen one of them??
I found one for sale on the other side of the world, surely they made more than one.

Continuing with my rant about morons and spelling and craigslist - I have learned that some people don't know what model Glastron they own. If I use that jaxed mash site, I can occasionally turn up more hits with "Glastron" and just the word "jet" than I can with the letters "CV". What I mean is they wrote up their CL ad just thinking they had a Glastron and a jetboat and that was it. So now I use both search strategies to make sure I'm giving myself the best chance at finding everything.
Now you would THINK an owner of a CV27 would know the model of their boat.. but :screwy:
And I wonder how many ads I miss that are sitting out in cyberland without the correct spelling of "Glastron"??
So if anybody posts on CList and manages to get Glastron spelled right and has "CV" or "jet" in their ad then I will have your back covered electro! At least until I find MY boat and quit looking! ;D

Inboard/Outboard! Drove by the guys house this morning.

I'm selling my 1980 CV 27. I bought a Baja 272 last spring and wanted to keep the Glastron but the wife says I can't have two 27' boats in the drive way.
-
That is a cool boat!
Does it have two 260's (350 Chevy's)?
Those trim planes come as close to the drive as it looks? :-\
Welcome Aboard! ;)

Ya it's got twin 260 Mercs with the original stainless 23P clevar props. The trim tabs are factory. It's just the angle of the pic that makes it look close.
-
What are you asking for it? The boat looks good. What kind of shape is the drive and engines in?
Next, where is it located?
-
OK, does anyone REALLY have a CV 27 for sale?
-
Were you able to get hold of Timmy? Does he really exist and live in Spokane and have a CV27 with props instead of a jet?
-
OK, does anyone REALLY have a CV 27 for sale?
You didn't want it anyways.....It doesn't have counter rotating props... :screwy:
;D

Would small blocks be a big deal without counter rotation? I wanted one to use as a camper more than a run about. I have the CV 23 for that. I may just go with a newer boat. The CV was just a thought.

Sorry for not responding electrowomen. I've been tied up with work and not checking your posts. Here's the scoop on the boat. I bought the boat in 2003. I'm the 4th owner. The boat has always been located in northern Idaho and eastern Washington since new. Always fresh water. I've always loved the old Glastrons so when this one came up for sale I had to have it. I had never seen a CV27 before. After I purchased it I started searching the internet for them and found out how rare they are especially to find one in good condition and even more rare is to find a blue and white one. The boat is all origional except for repairs thru the years. The upper drive gear case has been changed out on the drivers side drive. The boat is coming up on 1200 hours. It has the origional porto-potti, enclosed head with shower and sink. White gas stove with another sink, ice box (not a fridge) and storage cabinets around the stove. The berth sleeps two adults. The table can be used up between the back bench seat and the passenger swivel seat or it can go down in the cuddy. The table drops down in the lower cuddy's walkway and two side cushions go on it to make the bed. The boat has full instruments and depth/fish finder. It has a new fresh water pump (installed in 2002 and never used) with a 20 gallon water tank. Twin 260 Mercs, two origional 23P clevar props with one spare. It is a tipical old Glastron so it needs a good polish and buff every year. The wood was varnished when I bought is but started to peel. I sanded down all the external wood and tried teak oil for awhile but you can't keep up with it so last fall I removed the front two rails, rear wrap around rail and strips on the swim platform and sanded and varnished them again. I installed new water pumps and changed the oil in the drives in 2005. It has a cockpit cover and full factory canvas. The boat is solid. The bottom is in excellent condition and the floor is solid. It has a cd player with remote and two speakers up and two in the cuddy with a small amp, but the stero is older and not high dollar by any means. The CV27 was voted boat of the year by Powerboat Magazine in 1979. People ask questions about it everytime we take it out. Most people are shocked to here its a 1980. The rounded windows and styling were way ahead of their time. We bought the boat becuase we wanted a performance boat that was functional to sleep on for the weekend. This boat has so much more cabin space than our Baja. And it's probably the only performance cruiser you will find with an enclosed head. I've had the boat up to 55 or 56 mph on the speedo. I've never GPS'd it. That was with four people, all our stuff and 50 to 75 gallons of fuel. It has a 100 gallon fuel tank. For twins it does expectionally well on fuel. I easily use as much fuel with the 454 mag in the baja as what the CV27 uses. The boat didn't get used at all in 2008. To many other things to do that summer. We took it out twice last spring then bought the Baja so the CV27 got parked. On the two trips in the spring the drivers side engine didn't want to idle but ran fine from off idle to wide open throttle. The left engine ran great. Their is a small tear in the drivers side vinyl window. The white vinyl behind the stove and on the ceiling in the head needs to be regloo'd. It's starting to come loose. A few more wood trim pieces need to be redone in the cockpit but like you can see in the pics below this boat is in very good shape for it's age. I'm asking $ 8000.00 for it thru the winter as is. If no one buys it by the spring I will fix every thing listed above and raise the price to $ 10,000.00. O ya, also in 2004 I put new carpeted bunks on the trailer (from EZ Loader) and replaced all four wheel bearings, hubs and drums and intalled four trailer radial tires and a matching spare. The trailer has surge brakes. The trailer is faded and could use a paint job but tows really well. I have pulled it with a Tahoe, then a new F150. They pulled it well but were a little under powered. No I got a diesel Chevy and you don't even know you're pulling anything.

Well this sucks, I just did a map quest round trip exploration. 4709 miles round trip :banghead:
I'll have to look closer. We picked up a CV 23 in Illinois last spring, maybe there's a 27 around there to find.
I don't think you'll have a problem selling her, I just wish you weren't so darn far away!
-
No problem. I found your post on a google search so just wanted to run it by you. Have a great holiday.
-
Maybe you guys should meet 1/2 way. Middle of nowhere Wisconsin or something. ;)
-
Ya never know.
-
Check into a transport company. I'd bet it would be a lot cheaper than your fuel and travel expences.
-
So did this ever sell Tim or are you still cluttering your driveway with it? I'm interested(and that's a good thing in this economeee),
And it'd only need to go diagonally across the continent to FL.
cheers,
Jeff

Yes I still have the boat and it is for sale. I havn't re-listed it for sale yet. It's been in storage since last fall. I'm picking it up next week.
