Fun and unique speedboat from 1978 from Glastron Carlson with great sound.
Original copper-colored "flake" paint that gives a unique effect in sunlight.
Partially renovated with new railing, partially renovated cladding, new wiring, Pioneer high end system, brand new propeller (never sailed), 2 batteries (one brand new), new solid mahogany boards as cover and table top with 6 layers of lacquer and logos between layers.
The trailer is from 2013 with a total weight of 2000 kg and has not driven much. It has just been fitted with new plugs etc. and customized rollers to specifically fit the boat.
The set has been on weight and weighed 1980 kg with half tank, so easy to tow with most larger cars.
It comes with a closed canopy tailored to the boat, but this needs cleaning.


5.7 V8 Chevrolet engine with Holley carburetor, Edelbrock cylinder heads, racing knees with exits right at the waterline (great sound), upgraded ignition etc.
Volvo penta Z-drive.
Power: approx. 350 hp
Top speed: approx. 50 knots
Length: 23.5 feet
Weight: 14-1600 kg (depending on tank level)

Notable equipment is bilge pump, engine ventilation, navigation lights, cabin lights, hydraulic steering, electro-hydraulic trim, removable table, horn.
Included div. Accessories: new Danish flag, anchor, fenders, ropes, etc. and water skis with rope can be purchased (it can easily pull 3-4 people on water skis or banana at the same time).

There is plenty of sleeping space for 2 adults (and possibly a child) in the bow, as well as space for storage. However, most of the cladding is missing and needs to be finished.

The boat was originally imported from California, but in Denmark it has only been in the water during use and otherwise stored on a trailer in a dry hall.

James Bond used this type of boat with a hardtop in the movie "Moonraker".
