This boat is on an estate property I bought here in Oklahoma. It’s a V drive flat stern, left hand drive with rounded cockpit. I’ve been told it’s a 100 different boats. It is V drive, Left steer, fixed tabs, cockpit has dash rounded around driver. I believe this is the original trailer with matching fiberglass step fenders. Can you help me identify it? 207-664-8699. Call pm or respond here. Currently planning on restoring it. Thanks Fred

Thats true.... glastron carlson and tahati also copies the cvx-16 and sidewinder as well. But rigged as a v-drive is definitely rarity. Believe there is one on dragboatcity.com for sale. '18 eliminator Catalina bbc/vdrive

Sidewinder did the original design, lot of companies splashed the design. Sidewinder tried to sue, but lost in court. This is my old 18 jet I restored just like my childhood boat

A buddy of mine had a carlson cvx 16 with a 135 Johnson on it. Cool little boat... rode well for a 16 footer

If that boat came outta Oklahoma I’d bet it’s a Taylor SS. They were built in Cushing Oklahoma back in the day. Most of them were jets. They were splashes of west coast boats. There’s a ton of them in eastern Oklahoma.

Here is an old thread I found with a quick Google search.
