K&K Outboard

**Onetime** · 10-14-2025, 05:19 PM

Circa 1982 or so.
From my 23’ Ghost flat deck that was rumored to be the first produced for consumer.
Miss it and sorry I sold it.

man o man, i used to hang out with kenny & son i was a teenager island park. he was a glastron dealer, i would come over in my carlson[omc powered] run against his 110 merc glastron14. i was a hair faster. he would hand-cup my 2 blade for 5$. he ran an elephant ear merc prop, we had a blast bragging. the fastest thing around was a 16 carlson w/2 110s, did 80. what a great guy..

In the early 70’s my good friend and mentor bought a 16’ Glastron from K&K with a Mercury 150 in line.
Lots of skiing in Middle Bay behind that boat. He later bought the Ghost and I later bought it from him.
Back in those days K&K only sold Mercury power
