1975 Plum CV16V8
thedeuceman:
We purchased this project form the original owners son for $300 in Sioux Falls SD.
gel/flake is way past saving but oddly enough the seat bottoms look and feel new.
plenty of dock rash as well
it came with an extra dash loaded with orig gauges but neither one is in very good condition.
it has the trim/moldings and original boarding ladder is intact :-D
302 ford motor (prob not original as it has the clutch arm pivot common to old fords still on it.
motor is locked up but block is not cracked as far as i can tell.
has original Glastron exhaust manifolds and they are in good condition.
Volvo outdrive removed but appears to be in good condition.
this will be our next Boat project and hope to working on it soon.

WOW !
CV seats are pretty rare … Not great shape but useable, looks like they were redone at some point.
Nice to have patterns if you redo them in a pumpkin print … :-/
You could try "Plastic welding" on dash, have seen it done on snowmobile hoods, or the wood dash like another guy did on a CV.
How bad are the stringers/floor/transom ?
If there bad, can you replace with Merc drive ?
Or keep Volvo drive ...
Gel or paint ?
That's not "Dock Rash" … That's "Patina" .. ;)
Plugcheck:
I think you just coined a new classic Glastron term "Dock Patina". Nice find Joe, appears that your on a quest to save all the Glastrons.

* floor is soft, plan on replacing all of it

* still looking into it, but as i am in position of all the tools required to work on mercs thats prob the way i will go
Gel or paint ?
most likley gel, i got a sample of square cut .015 & .025 flake from the same place i got the flake for the 1900
* it looks AMAZING
appears that your on a quest to save all the Glastrons
* nope, other projects gotta go, for me the Plum CV16V8 "Holy Grail" have been wanting from the first time i saw one.
