TOPIC: Glaston Carlson CV-16/100hp Evinrude

I am waiting on a call on this one also!
What do you think bobo, up for a trip to Idaho?
Neil

Definitely looks "savable" to me Neil, but then you KNOW I'm a little partial to Glastrons & Carlsons.

Mark
It is sitting with the nose down and it is full of water up to the top of the bottom seat cushion.
Neil

It'll need a total restoration, down to bare hull and start over, no doubt then.

Pencil me in for the Impala in the foreground of the last picture, or the Desoto? in the first pictue.Hahahah

These were sittin' just up from the boat.
1961 Ford conv. and an Edsel wagon.
Gotta love Idaho!
Neil

OOOO, I want one!! Boat and the Impala. Course the wagon would look good pulling my Wagemaker Clipper!

I dont know Neil . It looks like mine ...L.O.L..Same colors to Ild think . Mines a 75 ..Looks much better with a Tower hanging off of the back and I know somebody in Idaho thats got ... OH ...One or two ...L.O.L..I meet ya for that little Tunnel hull your working on in another post ..Youll Love that Glastron if you get it . Mine with the 115 on good water ran around 54 on GPS .Handles real nice to .Mine looked almost like that one when I found it .Only thing I didnt like is the Gas tank in the Bow .To much weight .I let mine run dry and put a 6 gallon in the back . That got her up out of the water more and picked up About 5 MPH .Sure hurts my heart to see it sitting like that Full of Water and 2 by 6 inch planks laying on Nice old seats .If Carlson is still around and saw that He would probaully slap that guy ...L.O.L..He sure did design some beatiful Boats .

The instant I saw this I thought of your boat.
I sell you a boat, you show me your other boat, I see a boat like your other boat, we end up with the same kind of boat. I gotta sit down, I'm kinda dizzy just typing that one.
This one has been sittin' nose downhill for a couple years. The tank in the bow is probably shot anyway.
I would like to have this one for later on, but heck, I say that about every boat I see!
I will wait for the call and keep you posted.
Neil

If you get tha tunnel and decide you dont want it Let me know ..Whats one more trip threw the Bad Lands ..L.O.L...Seriously You would Love that CV . Its one of the Nicest all around boats Ive ever owned ..Does it say Carlson along with Glastrn on the Badge ..??

This is my 62 Carlson .It was the boat I guess that made Glastron give him a Phone call .Can you see that other Tunnel you found sitting next to it ?? By the way Im gathering stuff to get the Challenger back together .I picked up a Jack Plate for it last fall and Im going to pick up a 115 Tower with tilt and trim this weekend .. I need a steering Cable for it yet .

I could have a fun afternoon wandering thru that lot... in addition to the edsel wagon, the first pix... looks like a Galaxie wagon??? Just up hill from the tail end of the boat? Are the cars restorable?For sale?

Jim
Those two sittin up the hill are both Falcons.
I believe they would be restorable. They do not look to be total basket cases.
For sale? That is a question I would have to inquire about if you are interested.
This "lot" is 70 miles from me. I don't get up there often but all I need is a reason and I am in the truck, with the binoculars and the camera.
The gentleman that owns all of these has a auto shop. He does repair and body work. He has had this stuff for awhile and he is getting fairly long in the tooth, so he may be willing to let some of it go.
Neil

Neil . Do you ever see any 55 threw 57 Chevy trucks during your travels ?? I could use a good passengers front fender . Drivers to if its real solid .

Larry
you've got mail
Neil

Thats a cool boat. Carlsons are my favorite. I miss my cvx20 sprint.

Heres a quick vid of a replica gt I sold. Reminds me of that. MIke
