As another option, I could get by with a clear lens and put a red theatrical lighting gel behind it, or just use red LEDs. Does the USCG require colored lenses or just colored light? maybe I should ask the local USCG.

As long as you've got red and green and they are visible for up to 2 miles then it doesn't matter how the light is created. The lenses just need to be on the correct side - green to starboard, red to port, like they're shown on the ebay listings.

Hello, My name is Cory. I was just recently given a 1977 GT-150. I just got the motor running without a miss, but still need to get the carbs adjusted. I'm hoping to have that done and be taking it out for the first time this coming weekend.

Hello!
My name is Garrett and just bought my first boat. It's a 1967 Skiflite V-142 with a 2002 50 HP Mercury Tracker outboard on the back. Avacado green with a cream racing stripe. I'm living in Roseville, MN while I attend graduate school at the U of M. I'm looking forward to learning all about my "new" Glastron

Does anyone know a good way to fix minor cracks? I have one on the inner gunwale by the throttle.

Thanks,

Garrett

Welcome Garrett !
You can get gell mixed and color matched from ... can't remember the name now ... but some one will pop in with it ...
can you post pictures of your skiflite ?

SWEET !
Rich claims the green one are the fastest ...

I'm jealous, I need to rebuild the transom and glass across a transverse keel crack on my '64 Skiflite. I think I also have some ply between the floor and hull that should be replaced. I'll know for sure when I open up the floor to glass across the keel crack. I'm sure it won't be seaworthy before next summer, if even before the end of fall.

Cool boat! Gregg is right, the green ones ARE the fast ones!

looks like you have one heck of a front yard to cut!

Rosscoe · « **Reply #178 on:** September 07, 2011, 09:52:22 PM »

Welcome Garrett
Cool..another 67 in the fold. The gel on it looks like it is in great condition!
Show some pics of the cracks if you can and people will get a better idea as to what is required.

Hi I'm Karen from Alaska. I just bought a 79 Glastron GT 150. Hope to polish up the hull this winter and will be looking for advice on how to do so. It's my first power boat, but it was just too cool a boat to pass up. Has a 90 hp Mercury motor. Not sure the year, but old. Everything works, but some sun fading and will redo the seats this winter. Very excited to own this boat - went waterskiing with it last weekend to try it out.
