OK, about to cry, I've owned this boat for 3 years. My first was 1980 16 cvx, This is my second Glastron.
I drove 1000 mi one way to get this ship. I have a 1980 cv 23 in mind and must let go of this lady. There can only be one.
Since buying it I have replaced the floor, The stringers were in good shape, so only a good power washing ( Cleaned drain holes and improved factory imperfection`s)and some extra fiberglass was added to suit my own Retentiveness.
I replaced the floor with 1/2 fir ply, fiber glassed along the edges. I covered the floor in Duradek instead of carpet. to shed water and Human by proudcet. IE Tear`s, beer`s, fishing gear.
I made new back, battery and trim pump covers and covered with duradek.2011
New front seat's, not original. New windshield from UPD $ 700.00 . Had bottom end tested and main bearing with grease nipple, replace when bought just for insurance. Bennet marine. $ 1000.00 check up. 2011
Installed 1980 ford van console, 1983 never came with one. you can remove this with 4 screws. New cap and roater.
Cleaned up the wiring, Tied everything up. Two prop`s Speed 59.8 " 4800 rpm. on a 23P, Merk 260, 350chev, alpha 1 Out-drive- This was serviced to.... SKEG BROKEN, = less drag and stabilty. Love it.
Here's the thing`s I did not get to work on, This boat is older, I could not get the shine up to par with wax and elbow grease,
Need`s a professional polish would be nice. Jel coat is 98% ( Had one booked in 2011, They canceled 3 day`s ahead, Never made it back.
Needs a new back seat. I have the material, When I bought the front seat`s. I purchased / 3 yards of matching material. 3 different colors.
Trailer run`s well need`s paint
Would like my money out of this. Ok let me think ! 3+1+.5+1+.75+1+1+.3+.5 + all the time on it = No less than 6K
