Hey everyone,
My name is Paul and I'm a member over at iboats.com and cgoa.com where I met Hyperacme. I don't live in MN but you guys seem to be more organized and closest to me
I live in Colorado above 8000 feet of elevation. I'm an avid bowhunter, outdoorsmen, and family man with a 13 yr old son named Dylan, 12 yr old daughter Ashley, 4 yr old daughter Tess, 2 yr old daughter Ella, and 7 month old daughter Penelope, and a husband to a wonderful wife named Denisa. I am scheduled for surgery next month.......
I picked up this '74 CV16 SS that was cut up and made into an outboard boat for $150 on the trailer. No interior, no dash, no motor....NOTHING! I had recently built a '72 Invader SC15 Bowrider with a '73 Evinrude 65hp that was in the same situation. I had $1000 invested when I was done and sold it for $2000. This was my fund to build my Glastron!
I picked up a '76 Merc 1500 for $500 off a guy that was hurting for money.....O.K. so I stole it, I feel really bad! So I've been lurking around the Glastron Carlson sights trying to get insperation for my build up and advice from the guys that have already done it. I've decided to build this boat as an OUTBOARD boat since someone already cut it in the first place and I figured it would be better to just go with it.
I need help with how to mount my seats to the floor as the angles of the outboards seem to be the hull itself and inspiration for where to get help with this ratty old windshield, decals, badges, etc......
I hope that I can be welcomed here even though I'm a Colorado boy!
