Got a '91 Miata w/ a tuned suspension. Might not look like much, but that little bastard will hold the road. Don't even THINK about going off the pavement though... hee hee

My summer vehicle is my boat...a '72 Glastron. Just like the one used in the boat chase in "live and let die".
Is that a CV-160? I think it was made by Carlson for Glastron. Knew somebody that put a Evinrude 115 on one (when they came out the 85 and 115 were visually the same) with an 85 cover, that thing would fly.
Oh yeah, used to have a '72 MGB but it wasn't getting out near often enough so I sold it a couple years ago.

My bad, the boat used in Live and Let Die wasn't a CV-16, per Glastron's website
Glastron literature identifies the Live and Let
Die boat as a GT150 with a Evinrude Starflite 135hp engine.The year was 1973.
Interesting to note is that the '73 catalog lists the max hp of the GT150 at 90hp. The
GT150 is best distinguished from the CV-16 and GT160 by the transoms. The CV-16& GT150 have a spoiler type transom while the GT150 has the opposite slant at the top of the transom. In the famous picture with the cop pointing the gun, you can see the only modifications to the hull: two small black
rails that kept the boat level side to side on the ramp. The only other main modification was the central mounting of the steering wheel and a single centrally mounted seat for balance. The jump was performed over 100 times to get everything right before the actual take. Glastron built and sold 26 boats to the film company for the film.

Mom and Dad let you have your own boat? Or did you really mean "theirs" instead of "Mine"? Just curious.

Hmmm...
Jeep xj
Jeep mj
honda civic with sun roof
Gary Fisher Mountain Bike
I'd say summer is the mj with the bike in back.
I had a 1969 Ford f150 with a 352 windser and 400 turbo tranny, in dash choke. It was fun until it was wrecked.

But in the movie they used a different boat and the engine size caps at 90 (for the boat in the movie) or 120 for the CV-16 so why don't you ask dad which it is?

My Summer ride:
1984 Yamaha FJ1100.
My other summer ride is supposed to be my Daily driver. My Jeep is supposed to be for emergency use, 4 wheeling, and snow. 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V with a bunch of aftermarket parts. Since it is paid off, my wife and I are trying to talk myself into selling this one and getting a less expensive and pay off some debt.

Yes, they used a modified GT-150 in the movie; the only difference between that and my CV-16 is that it's a foot shorter and the windshield supports are a bit different. The transom is exactly the same. The link you posted for "glastron's website" is NOT an official glastron website. Yes, my boat is rated for a max of 120hp, but I have 150hp on there, and that's what has been there since 1972.
