The plants and the flat tires suggest you probably got a good deal on it

    I will know better than to sit up front when offered.  Paybacks can be a B****.    Nice score, same rude as my brothers Ranger.   A bit of a gem in the rough, seems a few convertibles floating around the club now.

Nah, I'd never hold a grudge over something like that ...

Probly get a chance to take a closer look at her tomorrow afternoon.

Loved mine, but that transom is impossible to get at without splitting the hull.

Looks like it might not be so bad with the OB? I'll have more news/pics tomorrow.

Does anybody in the club have an OB model?

That'll take up a whole winter for sure. Looks like it needs everything down to the hull. The right price.

Nice score Doug. It looks complete, no parts missing. You might be lucky and all it'll need are  new stringers.

After reading the vague Craigslist post, I thought it would be a Glastron Tri-Hull in a basket ...
Good score Doug !

Ya, we flat bedded her in. Gotta get it jacked up'n see if they'll hold air.

Got a lil work done between thunder storms: Bad news is the "great running" motor is locked up. Gonna pull the plugs tomorrow and dump some mystery oil down the holes, and pray. Good news is it appears unmolested, so we'll see.

Guy dropped the title off this AM so that's cool.

Yeah it's purty much all there. Dug out the front seats from under all the crap. Be good for patterns at least. Rear bench is AWOL. Doubt the fuel tank is original. Believe these had 27 gal tanks?

Doug, I have an original bench from my CVZ-18 I need to make some patterns from sometime. If you want a set of patterns let me know. be happy to mail you a set when I get them made.

Oh, I have a set of patterns for the original bucket seats plus original cushions from the bow seats also if you would like patterns.

Thanks Brandon. Think I got enough to work from on the fwd stuff, but the bench would be nice. 'Preciate it.

No rush. This thing's second in line.

Yes. My director of advertising suggested we start a campaign appealing to a wider spectrum of demographics.

I couldn't tell you Doug...mine had 2 poly tanks with a valve to switch between them.
