Pssst.... watch the classifieds in the spring!!

[25Outlaw]

I am looking for anyone who is familiar with an old 70's Glastron CVX20 jet boat that was once owned by Evil Knievel. My neighbor when I was growing up on Lake Burton in N. E. Georgia had one that was red, white and blue and was very cool. I haven't been able to locate the boat or any pictures of the boat. I just wondered if anyone has seen or heard of the boat besides myself

He's a fanatic about waxing :D


That's my dad's 18. You should have seen it when he first bought it. I think he may still have the pictures somewhere. It was pretty faded and he brought the whole boat back.

I think right now his favorite wax and compound are the Driven products. He usually details the boat in the spring and occasionally in the fall before he puts it away.

[Dangerous Dave]

Mange,
Thank you, I appriciate your comments.
It one time I thought about removing "Top Gun" from the side but I believe it is the first boat to leave the Cigarette factory with that name and may have had some influence in the naming of the 38 top gun in '87.
This boat is also in the old book "Muscle Boats" sitting at the dock at Ft. Apache.

Originaly I sealed it with Wizard Shine Master, but I've been using Driven. They have a web site www.driventoperfection.com, that you can order from. The stripe on our white with a red stripe boat has stayed nice all summer.

That's funny!! :rofl:

[SHARKEY-IMAGES]

That's funny!! :rofl:
But true...

If I can find the picture of the dashboard, it had an emblem on it stating Miami to Nassua.

Actually I just found this on a website:

The Following is an excerpt from Lazy Days History Website..

In October 1967 Lazy Days participated in the Miami-to-Nassau Ocean Powerboat Race. The 50' luxury houseboat was equipped with three air-conditioners, walnut paneling, wall-to-wall carpeting, a well stocked refreshment center and even an icemaker. Despite some problems with their engines, the houseboat averaged 20 mph during the 184 mile race. After the race, the Race committee performed a thorough inspection, concluded that there was no damage to the houseboat and awarded an "Ocean-Tested" seal of approval by the Bahamas Powerboat Association. Lazy Days is still the only houseboat manufacturer to have received this award.

The following June the 50' Lazy Days was selected to be the pace boat for the Bahama 500 ocean power boat race. The excitement started shortly after arriving at the rendezvous for the run from Miami to Freeport. Beachem had made arrangements for photographer Keith Heaton of Miami to take pictures of the Lazy Days playing "mothership" and towing race boats. Heaton had hired a helicopter for the assignment.

Once out in the ocean, they were in the process of rigging a tow for Wishnick's 32-foot aluminum race boat, when Heaton and his helicopter pilot swooped down to record Lazy Days' first effort as a triple-air conditioned tow boat. Somehow they failed to swoop back up again.

In fact, the chopper continued to descend, splashed in the ocean and sank in less than two minutes. Heaton, who had a heart condition, and the pilot, who could not swim, were tossed life preservers from the Lazy Days. One race boat crew member, Ed Sims of Atlantic City, N.J. and Beachem's 16-year-old son, Doug, dived overboard and helped the two airmen to the big houseboat. Meanwhile, using Beachem's Leica, Geer recorded the rescue on film.

Beachem notified the Coast Guard by radio. Dropping all tows, he headed for land to deposit the two wet, shaken airmen. Wishnick and Brown decided about that time that they'd better crank up and head for Grand Bahama under their own power, and waved goodbye in a cloud of salt spray. Donzi Blue Devil put out the anchor to await Beachem's return.

Around 5 p.m. . . . nearly four hours later than the plan called for . . . Lazy Days with Blue Devil in tow departed Haulover for race headquarters at Lucaya. They made the 96-mile trip across the Gulf Stream in 5.5 hours, averaging better than 17 m.p.h. in four to five-foot seas.

"At some point, the guys watching the Blue Devil were yelping for me to slow down," Beachem remembered. "The 28-foot race boat was jumping off waves just as though she was being driven. However they were worried we'd break a tow line, so we throttled down a bit just to keep our tow in the water."

Despite this impressive racing record, Lazy Days does not make race boats. The Lazy Days houseboat has always been known as the "Cadillac of Houseboats". The vessel caters to the up-scale market. Quality hand-crafted teak woodwork throughout the vessel, high grade appliances, and unique hull construction are standard trademarks of excellence in each Lazy Days houseboat.

Very cool history now that I read it...

I think their numbers are wrong on the footage, unless they just placed the emblem on all their boats thereafter ? I know mine was at least 56 to 57 feet by 13 feet. I remember 13 because I was going to hang my 13 foot Bullet 130 off of the back of it as a tender.... :D

[Scarab KV]

Cool history lesson. As a kid, my neighbor had a Lazy Days at the local marina. Very nice boat for the day. When we were in our early teens, his dad would let him have sleep overs for a few friends on the boat with no adults. We thought we were on top of the world.

[SHARKEY-IMAGES]

When I was a young kid, my father let me pilot the Lazy Dayz up through Hell's Gate, East River, New York City. I can remember having the engines spinning 3000 rpm each and not moving forward at all ! :eek:
The current really moves through there !

[Scarab KV]

I know the area. Never in a boat though. I ran LTL to NYC every week for 15 years. My last round out there was 3 weeks before 911. Now that I'm out of that pace and groove, can't say that I miss it much.

[SHARKEY-IMAGES]

By water is far better than by land... :D

This boat has never been rigged, had any holes drilled in transom. Interior has never been installed, (screws, bolts are still in bags).

Wow I have had several of these I have to goto mom and dads to get the photos of them a non airentrapment hull v-king or vector cant keep the names straight these days with an early 2.4 was one of my first blowovers.

This is my 3rd Viper. THese boats are alot of fun. I think I am going to leave this one alone and I'll pick up an another one and restore it. Once a motor goes on this its just another Hydrostream.

No I sold the Checkmate in 2004 thats when the pic was taken. I did see it for sale again on the Michigan craigslist about a month ago. It was a fun boat for sure!!

:(:leaving:That sucks!


it does suck , i picked that boat up cheap . it had bottom paint on it so my plan was to just leave it in the water and take it out everyday and abuse it

that boat took a lickin and kept on tickin ,even with all of the abuse i put it through it didnt even have stress cracks , i would bring it in the inlet and jump waves breaking on a sandbar about a 1/2 mile out in the ocean , one day my friend even got me on video jumping


here it is , im jumping in most of the video , the good jumps are towards the end , starting at 3.20 , the biggest one is at 4.40 something

Keep the arch Joe, it's period correct.

And it's like a sign for your boat that says "my dic.k is bigger than yours." :26:

Gotta love the 402 cabins!

I almost bought a 402 when I was look'n for my KV. Does yours have the passenger side Nav station? Thought that was cool. The cabin was defiantly for over nighting. I would keep the arch too. Think it would look better the other way thou IMO. I know it was a Formula thing, but it kinda looses that fast, sleek raked look.
What brand drive showers are you run'n. Any trouble with the caps working on TRS?

It does have passenger side gauges... I suppose i could toy with the idea of flipping the arch around to face rearwards.....

The drive showers were custom, caps, water line, etc. I know someone was making TRS showers, but cant recall who.

[Kool-Aid Man]

Ya....flip it around I think it would look better and you wouldn't hit your head on it!!!

Might be worth a try if you're look'n for a new look. I've seen them turned before. Fomulas arch has more rake to it then Wellcraft. Looked really good. There's a couple places to get showers for TRS, but none with caps.

[Kool-Aid Man]

Know that i think about it a little more....the arch might be in the way when you're moving around on the sunpad

imo, the arch makes it a tempest.
its like their signature.
but i like it either way, and i do usually like them w/o.

I am looking for anyone who is familiar with an old 70's Glastron CVX20 jet boat that was once owned by Evil Knievel. My neighbor when I was growing up on Lake Burton in N. E. Georgia had one that was red, white and blue and was very cool. I haven't been able to locate the boat or any pictures of the boat. I just wondered if anyone has seen or heard of the boat besides myself
