Where is this boat located? I'm very interested just because it's a Carlson. I can probably use my Glastron's original gauges to make a period correct. If it's a 66 then it predates Art Carlson's association is Glastron by three years.
Got a thumbs up from Maria on this one!! Half the battle is won.

This one has been listed on PB for quite a while. I'll see if I can find the post. I think it has the location in it.

Nice one wish I had the cash might have to add a VDrive to the party. I would clearcoat it over and preserve the racing decals and history.

I really would like to get my hands on it and stick a Mopar Big Block back in it. Clean it up clear it and just have it to show it off and run it every once in a while. Wife wouldn't understand it until current project is done though. I love the history this one has though. My Father in law is up in plainview right now too.

Yeah it does if I ad the cash it would be sitting behind my father in laws truck right now. I could have a motor in it and have it on the water faster than the CJ.Patchman said:
Only one problem its a race boat and only seats two. Anyone got a double decker boat trailer for hauling two boats at once? Or maybe a double length trailer with an adjustable axle setup. I know a double wide wont work.
Thats got me thinking I wonder if I can something.

Thats almost what I was thinking. Use some hydraulic rams to raise and secure the second boat above the first but I would probably not make it as high as that. Try to make it lower.spd500 said:Just get one of these :smile30:

Get it low enough with a low profile boat it just might. Would have to have a wide enough axle though.Devilman said:
