Reply With QuoteTTT..no one with any info?.....not so much wondering about the Carlson...im doin good there.....but what about the Jolly?....any help?
Whats up folks?..new guy here from the inland..lol...Im Jerrod from Owensboro Kentucky. Im currently in the process of restoring a 76 Glastron CVX-20 and retroing a 72 Jolly Roger. Both jet boats, the Carlson is getting a fresh 455 Olds, and the Jolly Roger is getting a redone 350 Olds. Both have Berkley pumps 1 is a 12JC and 1 is a 12JE...I was wondering how rare or common either 1 of these boats are as I cant find a whole lot of info on the Jolly Roger...I have pics of both.
The Jolly....

Also I was wondering, if anyone has ANY info on where I could locate a windshield and console for the Carlson, Id be grateful....
Love the site, Iv been lurking for a while, thanks in advance for any info,

Welcome. The Carlson's are pretty comon, I still see one on occasion. Windshield, dunno, I'll see what I can find. I have to replace the cracked on on my Taylor as well, one of these years soon. Never heard of a Jolly Rogers before now, must not be a midwest boat.
Best of luck to ya. There are mods to do to keep Olds' alive at 5,000 RPM levels, make sure you do them. LOTS of info here.
thanks for the reply....i found out the Glastron iss till having the windshields made for the CVX's...got 1 coming....the 455 is underconstruction currently and 5500 is probly all it will ever see....im still dumbfounded on the Jolly Roger tho..........thanks again
Check your PM,s.
Thanks a ton for the info. I guess I may think twice about the Jolly Roger...but damn I love those lines.....we'll see. Im gonna focuz more on the Carlson anyway...its already under construction...so...thanks again
I also have a jolly roger well kinda. Mine is in pieces too. I have not seen many of them. I am guessing that they are more popular in the nortwest since they were made in washington state. Jolly rodger boats is still in business http://www.jollyrogerboats.com/ So far I have not found much info on the forums about them, only a couple of pictures. I have only heard of one other one that was a runner. I would really like to know how they handle the chop, they have a bit deeper V than most jets so I would think they would be better in the waves.
I was told that the deep V hurts their performance as a jet boat above 45 mph. So i dunno. I really wana restore it somewhat. The pump is still good and I have a solid 350 Olds waiting for a home. It originally had a Berkley PackAJet 455....i really love the lines of the boat
Glad to see a asomewhat local guy here. and welcome.
1st Search MSN groups for Glastron/Carlson. I know there is a big group there with alot of info.
2nd the 455's are getting rare so snag all of them you can. (There are still a few of us running the 455 and we are allways looking for spares)
Yea i ended up finding alot of pics on that group site. Theyre the reason im putting a winshield on the Carlson.
