I have the 1974 Glastron Carlson CV-16 Super, found it in a boat junk yard, I re-built it , the best part is that I kept it all original, just like you. The color is purple sparkle, looking to get that color back to what it looked like back in 74, what did you use or what kind of paint was it?
@snareLINEVI It's my brother's boat. He did quite a bit of research and got a lot of metalflake samples. Purple was one of the options he was looking at. Purple is one of the coolest colors. The paint is actually gelcoat and in my opinion is the only way to bring a fiberglass boat back to it's original condition. Problem is it's expensive, not so much the gelcoat, but the labor involved smoothing out the orange peel finish after the gel is sprayed on. The CV-16 Super is a sweet boat.
@hobie16mn underneath the wood trim on the outside I have the original color. Purple gelcoat would look incredible on the whole boat. I do believe that the Glastron Carlson CV-16 super handles way better than the GT-150. It’s the Carlson V hull that screams total performance.
Couldn't agree with you more on the 70's boats. Take the decals and stickers off todays boats and you can't tell one manufacturer from another. I don't get it. This is my brothers boat in the video. Pictures don't do it justice. It turned out really nice.
im my oppinion the best boats came from the 70's. VERY NICE BOAT! I have a 76 apollo with a similar looking hull and blue metal flake gel coat and I love it. new boats all look alike and are boring.
That's awesome!!! It'd be a shame to get it wet
