I'm into Concords now but the boat that is nearest an dearest to me is my ol mans 1978 glastron Carlson cvx 16 with a 115 Johnson. He bought it brand new and still uses it three or four days a week. Not a very fast boat but handles like a dream.

The good old days! Still miss that show.
My start was during the pre-teen years in a little 14' Glastron with a 45 hp Chrysler OB. Finally convinced my father to let me take the windshield off and run a vynil racing stripe down the deck, it was way cool.
The Glastron was followed by my first all mine boat, a 13' Checkmate MX with a Merc 50 XS short shaft. He wouldn't buy it but loaned me the money and let me make payments to the Bank of Dad. Washed a lot of cars for that little hot rod, been a slipery slope ever since.
