Kinda threw me off with the welcome since you were a previous Glastron owner, but that wasn't a Carlson.  Great looking boat.  Hope you bring it to MN.

Very nice where did you find it, not too many around. That nuce....You will find that outboard will run forever, my 115 has run flawless for eight years.   Had it out yesterday running the NASCAR track in Fremont Ne.

Found it off Craig's list , Hemingford, Ne. Always garage kept , PO said he only used it  2 to 3 times a year the last 6 years. Got very lucky with this one, was only listed for 12 hrs . Talked with the owner for 45 minutes about the boat. Bought it over the phone , took it out for a test run on Box Butte for 45 minutes . Wasn't disappointed!!! This is my sixth one owner boat . Always searching for them . I really enjoy the hunt !!

Just noticed your  posting.  Beautiful boat.  Keep the seats dry or the buttons will pop.  The color appears to be Gold/Yellow.  My friend had the Red Orange with Red seats.  Mine is Persian Orange / Buff.  Found Box Butte Reservoir State Recreation Area.  Will check it out when back to work at Fremont State Lakes.
