Hi, I'm Andrew from Kalamazoo Michigan! I've been lurking around for a while, but finally decided to come out of the shadows. Last summer I bought a 74' CV-16SS off craigslist for $400. This will be my second boat restoration, but first Glastron. It was an all day trip to the Indiana/Kentucky border to get it. When I got it it was already pretty rough and somewhat disassembled. I have no original interior pieces, seats, etc... although I do have the dash (which is pretty badly mangled with cracks), and the engine cover (which I probably won't need). The boat appears to have sat outside in the sun for a very long time since pretty much everything is UV damaged, even the metal flake blue has faded significantly. Since then I have been making some pretty consistent progress, I gutted it to a bare hull, I have a new transom, bilge, motor mounts, and deck installed. Planning on re-gelcoating it once all the fiberglass work is done, not sure if I want to stick with factory colors or not. I plan on starting a restoration thread soon once I can get all the pictures off my phone... I decided to convert it to a V8 engine, not because it's practical, but because...well...because haha Hoping to try my luck at molding a bigger engine cover eventually. Anyways see you around the forum!
