125mph Glastron Carlson
Looks to be a CVX-16 that had been modified for an I/O. I don't think I would have attempted this.

I've never seen one of those Glastron Specials before. Maybe it was available in foreign countries only or something.
Now that I look close I see the boat is a CVX-17. He must have that thing dialed in perfect to be running 125mph. My old CVX-16 would get pretty hairy above 60'72 Glastron GT-150 Johnson Stinger 65

I'm with you on the hairy CVX16's. Been there, done that.
That guys balls are definately bigger than his brains.
It sure looked like it was running quite nice, though.

1994? I guess the old addage "no replacement for displacement" (and squeeze) still worked back then. Sure looked stable, I'd love to see the bottom.
OK, I got down off the porch and ran with the big dogs....kinda sore now....think I'll just lay here in the flowerbed for a while...
