TOPIC: Hagerty Classic Cars has Classic Glass

The Hagerty Classic Cars magazine arrived yesterday so I sat down with a cup of coffee and paged through to the index to see what I might want to look at first.
A photo of a blue and white finned boat immediately caught my eye. There was no mistaking that profile. It was a South Seas Samoan and it was being driven by it’s owner, Bill Anderson. A quick jump to page 46 brought me to an article about the classic fiberglass boat hobby that had some great photos of Bill’s Somoan, Del VanEmmrik’s Car Aqua, and Kefin Mueller’s Cadillac Sealark.
Congratulations Bill, Del, and Kefin, for having your boats included in an article promoting the hobby, and thanks to Hagerty for including some classic glass in with the classic cars!

Sweet, we better buy them up now while they are still cheap

Very cool!
And the white with black trim Glasspar G-3 seen on the right side of the page a ways down under "Market Place", is sporting one of my restored 1962 Merc 1000 short shaft with PT.
The owners reside in Oregon.
In my second picture of this G-3 is another Frankenmerc restored Mark 58 on a restored DeBilt.

Don,

Thank you for your kind comments. We are so proud of this article recognizing the classic glass boats that are special to all of us. We had an amazing photo shoot last year with Bill, Del, Kevin and others. In our next issue of Hagerty Marine's quarterly publication (The Current), we have dedicated this issue to classic glass. It will be available online third week in March!!
