Boat is located at Lake of the Ozarks, MO. $1750. This is a project that needs to be completed. Very solid trailer with foldaway tongue that fits this hull perfectly. I have all of the trim parts, perfect windshield. Change in retirement plans means I am not going to be able to finish this. Would like to see it go to a Glastron fan! Clear MO titles for boat and trailer.

The boat floating in the water was the starting point. I spent the last couple of summers pulling it a part as the transom and floor were shot. I put in new stringers, transom, and marine grade floor. The boat was painted by a professional. I did have to pull part of the new floor out to get the boat back together. I should have put the top and bottom together and then done the floor. Lesson learned.
This is definitely a project for someone that has some skills and wants to finish it up. But you do get a rock solid trailer and all of the Glastron GT160 parts that people look high and low for. The windshield, for example, is fine and it seems like new windshields are $300 - $400 if you need one fabricated. All of the aluminum trim castings are fine and I have new decals. Glastron steering wheel and polished inserts. There is no motor.
Hate to see it go since I skied behind an orange GT160 with a Tower of Power in the 1970's but circumstances have changed since I started the rebuild. Hope this helps. Would like to see it go to a good home!

That is a great start on a beautiful boat. I am sorry after doing the worst part of the restore you have to let it go. I live down close to Joplin, Missouri and would love to have finished it for you. However, I just bought a project 2 weeks ago and my house already looks like a used car lot. My adoring wife is starting to give me the sideways look. Best of luck to you and if I can be any help, please let me know.
