I met this boat and couple on the Mississippi River in downtown St. Paul a few years ago. Always liked the looks of the C-512 metric series of Glastron/Carlsons. Congratulations on the acquisition.

I believe so as they're also selling the '98 Tahoe tow vehicle.

Any one willing to mount an expedition to go look at it ?
Boat is some where around 280 and 94, close to the river.

Yep!  What time should I tell Dan you'll be there?  I promised him you'd lug some bags of cement around too.  ;)

Someone volunteered to grab it...I'm planning on running up late next week to grab it.  Probably stick it at my Mom's in Mankato until the meet.

     Is that Jeff's elevator and gel coat service wagon in the photo?  he he.    Does fuel cause the gel to yellow causing the stain, or is there actually something in the fuel that leaves the residue?

Yes, Jeff & Jim have been awesome and have been tinkering with the boat doing test runs and fixing the 'no starter when its hot' issue.  Sounds like a loose wire & a new solenoid have it resolved.  Jim got the boat and brought it to Jeff's, replaced the solenoid, checked the motor out, etc.

I've got a run down of everything with the boat, its in good working order.  Solid floor, etc, but I believe I'll be rebuilding the front seats this fall & winter.  Tach doesn't work, but otherwise, just needs some 'Love' to quote Jeff.  He's done me a huge favor by buffing the gel out and running the boat on the water to make sure its ready for TI.

I can't thank them enough for all the help.  Originally, I wasn't going to see the boat until TI, but my brother in NH is coming to visit next week, so I'm making a run up to Lakeville tomorrow to grab the boat.

(Side note...sold the B. I think I'll eventually look for a CV-23 to do a bowrider conversion on some day...sorry cv-23 guys.  Looking for a Wet Bike to work on over the winter too.)
