Sportster Splash?
« on: September 04, 2013, 04:40:47 PM »
This boat came into my shop a few days ago to be worked on and get running. It is a 1976 MFG 15 foot tri-hull with lines that bare a resemblance to the Glastron V156 Sportster, especially the way the strakes and chines are shaped when viewed from the transom. A sort of copy? Anyway, it has a 1975 Evinrude 75hp "Hustler" on it that was critter-infested. I gave it the works - rebuilt all three carburetors, new water pump, thermostat & poppets, control cables and a power head base gasket. For as old as it is and as long as it's been sitting the darn thing runs pretty good.

There was one on the local CL ... Think it was Cavaller or something like that ... Hull looked just like a V-156 ...
NICE Hustler !
