    One of the most beautiful speed boats ever!

    Always wanted one of these to convert to OB and hag a 400 hp V-8 on it.

    I'd rather be competitive w/junk I built in my garage than win w/stuff I bought.


    I refuse to allow common sense to interfere w/my boat buying decisions.

    Laser 480 (?) 21' w/GT 200

    BEAUTIFUL!
    I remember hearing them tear up the GSB in the early 70’s when they were in their heyday
    Would be interesting to see one with an outboard

    They also made a 21’.

    All jets and I think some IO’s though.

    For yrs I watched for one to convert to a Mod VP resto mod.

    Single seat, string steer etc.

    At 63, now I think I like the full interior!

    I've got a cvx 20 outboard I plan to redo it one day. Really cool boat. So cool the wife won't let me sell it. I guess for the right price I'd let it go , but I doubt it. It ran about 60 with no jack plate or setup with a 175. I think a 225 optimax would be a good motor on it or a 225 Promax to save a little weight.

    I had one.

    They we’re neat boats and another cool design to come from the pen of Art Carlson.
