    Ok this is gonna be a small problem for me. The engine hatch has a monster size hole cut out of the top of it. I really wanted to keep the hatch all stock looking but what the hell. May just put a tunnel ram or L88 style scoop on the thing.

    Thinking about mounting some kind of fiberglass cowl scoop, maby one like this will do the job. Now I have a good idea of how big it needs to be so all I need to do now is find one.
    "DAYTONA" I can see from the avatar that you have one hell of a nice rig! It's cool to get some words of encouragement from a big time boat owner on a old back yard beater project!
    Thanks Fred

    Scoop looks good. Moving along nicely.

    I'm giong with big 4"x10" Harden Marine tips, it had 3" flappers on it but I didn't really care for them. Thinking about a set of through transom headers rather than the old water logs. I bet the headers would win me a ticket or two from the DGIF P0-P0

    Damn a strong wind blew the boat apart today
    Only kidding!
    We capped it so I could cut all the rotten wood out of the dash and out of the gunwales.

    Hey CVX20,
    Would you consider letting me post that on CarlsonSpeed.com?
    I'd love to make an article out of your project. You can see the article for my CVX-16 restoration at:

    Hi Tom
    I looked at the link to your rebuild from start to finish. Fantastic job man the boat looks perfect. I understand how much you liked working with your dad. My dad helped me on my last project boat. I like the way you went with some of "out the box thinking" like installing the vent fan ports. I have also looked at Kilroy Bay's CVX20 rebuild over on that site. I am registered over there but can't seem to get loged in? Looking at your rebuild is a strong reminder of how much work I have ahead of me. Be proud because you did one hell of a job. Feel freel to post all the pices you want over on carlsonspeed. Who knows they may just get a kick out of them. You can find many of my boat and boating pics over on Photobucket.com. The link to my album is http://s34.photobucket.com/albums/d1...al&media=image
    Thanks Fred

    This is one of the the E-bay pics from when the boat was listed for sale. Check out the plants growing up out of the engine compartment. My frend took one look at this pic and said "Fred have you lost your mind" then he said "where is it, let's go get it" Thanks for all the help Scott and remember "This is all your fault"

    Your dashboard looks great! The Cragar cap on the steering wheel is a super nice touch as well! Is the wheel plastic or wood?
    I am from Roanoke/Vinton/Blue Ridge. Got hooked on boats hanging out on SML! I live in Tennesse now and have a couple of Carlsons. My family is in Roanoke. My sister's husband runs B&M sheet metal. If you are in need of some stainless goodies fabricated give them a ring!
