Dear S&F racing community of infinite wisdom,
This boat was advertised as a 1970 Glastron GT150. A bit of research informs me that Glastron never built a GT 150 in '70. I'm assuming the seller mistakenly used the "first year registered" from California titles as the actual model year and what I'm seeing is a 1971 Carlson CV16 with a bad interior restore job.
Has anyone actually ever laid eyes on a '71 CV16 and can verify that this is the real thing and I'm not wasting my money on a knock off? The only reference I can find mentioning a '71 is the sales flyer at http://classicglastron.com - none for sale on Ebay or the other usual sources. I'm probably going to pick this thing up tomorrow or Saturday complete w/ a Johnson 115 V4 2 cycle in a trade for a P4 laptop worth about $1000 or so.
I love the sleek lines of the Carlsons and a chance at owning a vintage 1st year CV is making me feel all warm and bubbly. Please tell me what I want to hear guys!
