Caribbean Aero Nautical Presents: "Moonraker II"

Restoration project: 1978 Glastron Carlson CV23HT
One of only five known examples remaining.

This was the model of boat used in the 1979 James Bond Film “Moonraker“

You will see numerous Glastron boats advertised as being “Bond” boats but this is the model that was used in the
film. Several were built for Eon Productions and custom painted in the silver metalflake gelcoat over gray. These
were the “only” ones ever built in that paint scheme and the only remaining is owned by the Ian Fleming
Foundation.

This vessel is obviously not an exact copy as the "Bond" gadgets make the boat user unfriendly but some are
available to be constructed as addons for an additional price.

This boat is absolutely turnkey and was restored from bare hull to better than factory new with all new or
remanufactured items to include:

5.7 Vortec engine 300 hp with 5 Hours Total Time for Seatrials (GPS max 58mph, Fresh water only)
