Okay, I found a few pics of my old Carlson cv16ss
 


    Man I bought this a couple years after the FireFlite. That's when I got the wild hair to sell the FireFlite. It was a one owner and never kept outside. My buddy at the local boat shop remembered his dad selling it new. The boat was imaculate but the trailer--it was a typical '70's trailer. So I talked to my buddy at the boat shop and told him that a boat this nice needed a trailer to compliment it, he agreed. He had made a deal with a dealer going out of buisness and bought all of his leftover new tracker marine trailers. A deal was made and I owned one. I made a deal with a buddy who needed a trailer for his fishing boat who was a body man to paint the grey tracker marine trailer black in trade for my old trailer. Than I had to put new bunks and brackets to mate up with my hull. Than came the lettering I had made and I pinstriped it, etc. I sure do miss this boat. I never saw it agian after selling it. I heard it stayed in town but never left the guys garage, what a waste! I tried to locate it and buy it back with no luck running adds in papers and on internet. I only sold it after having my heart attack and cancer surgerys to try and keep our house. If I new then how things were gonna play out I would have kept my things and went ahead and gave them the house. Huh, hindsight's 20/20. Any ways thru my ordeals I learned to enjoy life and not take 1 second for granted! I just wish I could find the pics of all the good times we had with her on the river!
