Sailor:
Picked up a 79 hpv165 for a few hundred dollars it will need some work.   I guess I?ll need guidance from fellow hpv owners regarding what the stock interior looks like and how to remove things.   

Let the build begin I guess

Welcome to the forum Sailor !

Pretty sure they made the HPV's from the 70's thru the 80's, check every year's brochures for different pictures and angle of your boat.
Most boats that old will have some .. or a lot .. of rot in stringers, floor & transom.
You could drill some small holes near bottom of transom and check wood shavings for wet rotted shavings.
One of our members just did a HPV and might have some insight into boats construction.

You can find the brochures here ..

Welcome!!

Sailor:
Thanks for the information and the welcome!  Yeah transom is pooched so right now it?s mainly figuring out how to remove the two consoles to get to the floor

I?ll admit that this is my first glass rebuild so I?m erring more on the conservative side and documenting everything rather than just ripping and tearing

I?ll admit this is my first glastron.  Such a nice looking boat.  I?ve had grews and starcrafts but never a glastron.   

Does anyone know if glastron sells nos parts for these things?

Thanks

Welcome !
Sweet looking boat, already in pretty nice looking condition.
I can tell you that I learned a LOT about fiber glassing on our little project.
Someone on the forum gave me this info https://www.expresscomposites.com/contact
I ended up using coosa board instead of marine grade plywood due to lower weight and no rot but it is more expensive.
Keep us posted in the projects section !
