I emailed him. Have you tried? I would be able to go look at it if anyone is able to pull the trigger on this boat. Wish I were in a position to buy. I am out of room (not to mention a low Glastron fund!)

If that were in MN I would be all over it. Looks like a steal!
-
... or STOLEN! :o LOL! looks like all the plexi pieces are missing. Main hardship is the windshield. They are near impossible to find and expensive to make. I think Red was quoted $3k to have one made. I have a source here that said $1500 if I can identify an Automotive windshield to be cut down. Plexi/lexan works but has proven to be less than desirable as it scratches and distorts your vision terribly. I am a 5 hour drive from it.

I got some more photos and talked to the seller. Claims to have a solid hull and floor/transom. He has stripped the hull to clear it but can not finish it. Note the windshield is not original. Another proof in point that plexi does not stand up well!

Wow ...that did not last long. It has been pulled from Craig's List already.
-
Yup, I was planning to jump in the car and drive down from Vegas to see it this afternoon. But, he said he sold it this morning! Finally, I get one that's close to me, and it goes too fast for me to even look at it!

Judging by the pic's that plexi windshield is Very thin, possibly 1/8 or 3/16 thickness, and maybe lexan. It surprizes me how tough lexan is, to not with-stand weather any better than it does, it scratches easily and you can not polish out the scratches like arcrylic. Arcrylic has been on boat for a lot of years, and as long as it is taken care of properly lasts for Years. I've used 1/4 arcrylic in one these boats, but because of the length and width, the 1/4 seemed flimsy to me, after that I went to 3/8 material and it's much better, but much harder to form with-out imperfections, I think the 3/8 thickness is going to be just fine, once we learn how to form it with clarity. just my opinion.

Whew. Thank you to whoever grabbed that and delivered me from temptation.

Tell me about it! I will need to start stacking them on end pretty soon! ???
