IT'S NOT A MATE BUT IT'S STILL COOL

This carlson is for sale. I think he is asking 400 I d on't know a thing about it. I just drove past it today and shot a pic or two.

 

[wickedrister]

I will try and find some info on the boat.

 

[wickedrister]

I may just pick this one up for myself. It looks like a good restoration boat to me. It's not a Mate but it's a blast from the past that needs a home

I've always liked Glastron boats! Especially the Carlson models.

They all need transom/floor replacement just like all Hydrostreams and many older checkmates. Glastrons are good to about 52 mph, then get hard to control.

JW, I better finish my first boat before I look into starting on a second one

Do you know what size the motor is?

 

[wickedrister]

150

 

[msmile]

looks like a 73ish cvx 16 glastron carlson, 16' 2" That boat was Heavy for its length. Fuel in the front. I had one with a 135 inline, 50ish, then went to a merc 175, 60ish+. Mine was purple metalflake, followed it with a Predictor / merc 115

Its a CV-16. The CVX had differ transom shape and non-metal framed windshield.

Back in the late 70's or early to mid eighties (you have to forgive my memory, there are a few years back then that are just kind of a blurr) I almost bought a starcraft with a carlson hull. Has anyone else ever seen or heard of a Starcraft Carlson ? It was a real sharp red and white boat with a 140 rude on it. I think the style of it was ahead of the times.
