Default Before Miami Vice

i thank the boat jump still holds the record for the longest boat jump. my dad still has a 184v glastron just like the one in the chase that hits the tree but his has a windshield on it, it is even the same color

My first boat was a cv15 just like the first one Bond was in. It had an 85 evinrude, no trim. I boat in the same waters this was filmed in. I wonder why people think we`re rednecks in Louisiana? hehehe

That I/O Glastron must be rare.

But look at how deep the the hulls are running. They are not
making much speed at all.

My Hydrostream would only have the last foot or so in the water.

There are quite a few still around. they are Glastron Carlsons, designedby Art Carlson. Most came with 351 and mec 888 outdrives. Very cool boats. Ive had a couple of hydrostreams, you cant even compare the two. Glastrons were just sporty looking run abouts.
