I got a boat! {{ LOTS of PICS! }}
Well, it's a 1980 Glastron with a Mercruiser 165 engine in it that is the cleanest engine I have seen in a long time. What the Craigslist ad did NOT show, was the metal-flake in the blue paint, making the boat even cooler. I guess in its day (and today, even), Glastron was one of THE boats to own, so now they have “Classic Glastron Ownership” societies, forums, groups – you name it. A really cool piece of boating history.
The rims are the exact same as those on my '68 Fury! AND, it's blue and white, just like the Fury! It is going to look SOOOO wicked with the Plymouth towing this boat. Talk about living the dream! I expect more than a few “thumbs-up” signs from other drivers, haha. I cannot say enough about this boat. It is in as pristine condition as one could expect from a 30-year old watercraft. Someone really liked this thing. It has 280 hours on the clock, too, which is really low. It has every gauge you could think of: MPH, hours of usage, temperature, trim level, etc. Anyhow, there it is. Tows like a dream, too. Jeep yanked it pretty darn well. It's LIGHT. Much lighter than I figured on. It didn't like the hills, but that's mostly the axle gearing with those 33s. Once I get the Jeep re-geared it will tow it like a champion. Won't even know it's there. And the Fury will for SURE have the power. Here are a few pics: (( EDITED TO ADD )) I didn't realize the Image code was off in this particular part of the forum. Here is the boat album if you want to take a peek at it. http://s164.photobucket.com/albums/u13/SkwerlyXJ/Boat/ |
