RIP Art Carlson of Glastron-Carlson boats

[Fun Times]

I don't know any details but I just read that the designer/builder of Glastron-Carlson boats has recently passed away. Thought I'd share the info with iboaters.

Just received word that Art Carlson of Glastron Carlson boat building fame passed away on Monday evening. Definitely one of the true performance boat innovators in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. In the late 1970s the Glastron Carlson plant on Grove Street in Anaheim was consistently building 13 boats per day -- models from 16 to 27 feet. Very cool boats even today. Services are pending -- most likely in Garden Grove, CA in mid-August. Not many like him.
