74 Glastron Carlson CV21

Its done and it got wet today . No leaks , water or fuel , i ran it for over two hours straight , took it easy , i spun it to 3800 rpm which around 32 mph . I still have to put more time on it to break in the motor , it ran solid not so much as a hiccup .

Hey Gil,
Good on you getting the boat going. I ended up in Alaska working all summer but will be home next 10 days or so. I'll let you know if we have a gathering.

Hi Gil,
congrats wow this has been a long road, you first pictured it blue paint and all back on fiberglassics a looooong time ago. I know the CT river on the section you are wondering about very well as well as the Merrimack River Lowell to Nashua. I live on the Mac river between the ocean and Haverhill, all good places. I get together with the backyard racing crowd either with the Hydrostream the Glastron or the jet, great group of guys. Next time I’ll ping ya through here, would love to see in person, just spectacular.
You should go to the end of season run on the CT south of Hartford, lots of boats show and good time to meet the more local people as most everyone goes. It’ll be posted in the events section in Sept time frame .
Awesome feeling when it’s all finished and the first shakeout goes smooth, brilliant!!
Randy
