Yea Yea!! I know, buy another boat, sell it, complain I cannot fish.
I got this one for a steal (I won't tell how much). I am considering rebuild to original as a classic, modify to fishing, or selling off the motor.
Specs: As far as I can tell, it is a 1969 Glastron runabout with a 55 horse Johnson. The hull is great but the transom has some cracks. The seats are stock and in awesome shape. The floor could use new plywood but it is still sound. The windshield is broken but could be replace easily. Engine wise.... well that is what sold me. It is a 55 horse Johnson with all the controls. It is electric start but I gave her a manual pull and she wanted to fire. Two stroke motors are pretty hardy and can handle sitting. I know that the feul pump and carb were redone last time it was run. She sat for some time but remained very clean and dry.
I want to restore her to a classic but I need a fishing boat??????
I am once again stuck with a very nice boat but not what I need to go fishing with considering the body of waters that I frequent.
What say you?
I want a 16 or 18 foot deep "V" aluminum with at least a 40 horse.
