SOLD: 1976 V-162 Futura SOLD
« on: March 13, 2019, 04:18:40 PM »
Hi,

I’ve been an occasional lurker here since late 2015.

I have a 1976 Glastron V-162 with the original 1976 85 hp Merc. for sale.
I might be considered the original owner as my father purchased the boat new in June of 1976 from Nelson Marine in St. Paul.

Carburetors were serviced by Shipwreck Boat Works in the spring of 2016.

The original Spartan trailer is there.  New tires were mounted in 2016.

This boat spent almost all of its life in Danbury, Wisconsin. It was stored inside in a boathouse summers and spent winters indoors in Webb Lake. It never sat out except the days it was in use.

I may not be able to get more until I can get it out of the garage in Siren.  The snow is knee-deep up there right now.

Asking $2,500

Your boat is very nice.
Price is fair.
Most buyers will want a test drive.
AND ...
Warm weather is coming.

Try some other large local city's on Craigslist.
The right buyer will travel for the right boat.

Nice looking Glastron,. I'd suggest expanding your advertisement out, the Glastron faithful are known to travel for the right boat.  Certainly has an interesting prop.  Good luck with your sale.

Thank you.  A lot of testing went into the selection of that prop back in summer of 1976.
