      It also has a windshield and posts, but I'm afraid something inside me would die if I parted out and junked a Carlson.......Looks very similar to my old 16 deluxe.   Should anyone be interested, I could take a look.

Well...I'd like the ladder if that eases your conscious any?

Sometimes one must be sacrificed for the strength of the herd!
I think this has become an addiction.

     The real problem is that I have two running Evinrude 85's in the shop, plus a third powerhead for same engines.  Actually considering a clean up and flip scenario rather than a part out and junk case.  Besides which, I already have three boat trailers that I'd like to see gone.  I have been in contact with the owner, and it does have a title.  He states the floor is solid, and the transom only has a couple small cracks.   The little voice in my head is now asking...."Do I really need another project"?

Gotta cull the herd, now that's funny Shawn.   Just don't know if I got it in me.   What is a ladder worth anyway?

I'm out Mike.  I don't believe that to be an original ladder.  And after seeing how that new gold cv-16's were added, I believe that to be a much cleaner way to add one.  Thanks!

The older Carlsons had a similar ladder.  I ordered the factory one like Dave's and added it to my 80. It was a bear getting in on.  You can search all the pictures  of Carlson to find them.  I wouldn't even guess how many thousand blue ones they made.  The gel coat looks exceptionally good.  In 80 they made a Lazer blue which is a better color.

I sent the guy a text Friday, he said it was sold, I was thinking if the windshield was good, its cheaper than ordering a new one...I thought about cutting it up to make a fishing boat...but never discussed it with the boss..Five cars and a boat not sure I have the room...

I have outboards if your interested, but I think i need to pass, just don't need another project to take up time and space.

It's been reposted, claiming sale fell through.

If it was closer I'd buy it, but it's too far away.
