TOPIC: 1958 Glasspar Trident

Hello everyone, I have a 1958 Glasspar Trident that someone gave me. It's in good shape I am in the process of restoring it and have some questions. The serial number is FZ2608B0058K and has a Johnson Super Seahorse 35 on the back, the number came off plate on the right side of the transom. So here are the questions, how reliable is the cable steering, where can I find the rubber deck trim (goes between deck and the hull) it has two rear lights in the rear one is missing the glass lens. Any information would be great and if someone has one with pictures would be helpful. I believe that I have the deluxe model as the seats go down the sides of the boat and seems to have few little extra that the standard model does not have. Thanks Micheal

the rubber rub rail can still be purchased,, I'm not really sure what the name if the company that still makes our vintage stuff, someone I am sure will chime in here and help...

Welfco makes the rub rail.
