It's a 1976 Glastron/Carlson CT-16. She has the 302 w/Volvo 280. It sure has a flat bottom compared to my 16. It rides very flat in the water but doesn't like waves/wakes very much. I'd guess top speed at +/- 50.
She still wears her original gold sparkly paint and brown interior. Pretty cool boat.

A good friend has that identical boat with a 140 Mercruiser 4 in it.
Great little boats.
Always get a "Hey look, it's the James Bond boat" at the ramp.
Very nice.

I took this shot so that one can see the difference in the two hulls.

The mid-70s to early-80s Glastrons are certainly great looking boats. Great inland lake boats. Same timeless look as Donzis.
1979 CVX-16 with a 1979 Evinrude 115 running nicely. It is my 19 year old nephew's boat.

Nice....
I learned to slalom ski behind an identical Glastron. Same colour, same year.
