  • New from Texas

    Hi, I just joined and I also posted on the Falls Flyer Restoration thread. I live in
    Liberty Hill, Texas. I am 57 years old and grew up in Austin, Texas. Our first
    boat was a 1966 Larson. My first fiberglass job was putting in a new transom
    in it in 1971. I went to work at Glastron in Austin in 1973 and worked in New
    Product developement and Engineering. I started my own tooling and fiberglass business in 1979. After the boating industry's down turn in 1990 I started working for the bathware industry at Aquatic Whirlpools until 2007.

    I have always loved the water and boats. I have a 1976 Glastron Carlson
    CV-19 jet I restored and customized.

    I also have a 1958? Falls Flyer I am considering restoring and about two weeks ago I found the 1966 Larson we had and am working on getting it.
    It will need alot of work, but to have our first boat back will be cool.

    Thank you for this forum and being able to share with you.
