'nother newbie maybe need help right away
griffer:
Howdy fellow Glassers! I am interested in this rig but it seems to be quirky. Advertised as a 68 Glas with an inline 4 cyl. The guy can't really say much else about it except he hasn't run it due to the previous owner says it has a starter issue. He hasn't tried or investigated the starter. Looking at the pics and cross-referencing EVERYTHING I could find, something isn't adding up. The engine cover is kinda weird along with the wrapped single piece windshield and that funky thing in the middle I can't find that combo anywhere. Also, a white/ivory steering wheel?? Can anyone please add some insight here? Much appreciated.

Welcome to the CGOAMN forum griffer !
Glastron brochures are here (in PDF so you can zoom in on details) ...

My guess is a 1967 V-154
Hyperacme:
The 1966 V-154 came with that windshield, but not in that color ...
Brochures were printed months in advance of model release and are often wrong on a number of things.
Cool boat though !

Welcome!
Cool boat. If I were to buy it I would take out that entire motor and outdrive and swap it out with a more modern (70's/80's) 140. I just don't know if it is any longer than that old 60/80hp to fit under the cover. It will be very hard to find parts for that old 60 or 80.
Rich_V174SS:
That boat would have come with the Mercruiser "Renault" 60/80 engine but I don't think that's what's in there now. And, as previously stated you're going to be hard pressed to get any parts for that drive system. It would be better to tear it all out and re-power it with a newer complete 2.5 or 3 liter engine & drive package.
