TOPIC: New to the site, wanted to say hello!!

Hello, I am new to the sight and first time boat owner. I have been around boats off and on with my dad and friends. My neighbor and good friend has a 1979 Taylor SS with a 600 hp 455 Olds. I found mine on Craigslist and fell in love with it, its a 1969 Glastron Jetflite V143 with a 1973 Mercury 850. Hope to spend some time researching and hope fully getting some knowledge from you all as I spruce up this classic. Look forward to getting to know everyone.

Welcome aboard Jetflite, clean ole Glastron there my friend. Plenty of knowledgeable folks here to lend a hand when you need it, don't be afraid to ask.

Thanks, Fell in love with it as soon as I saw it. Now if I could just get the old Merc brought back from the dead!

Excellent nice find and welcome aboard, glad your here.

Welcome aboard. That model is one of my favorites. There are a few nice ones one here. Great combo you have. I have seen this model with a 110 Merc and another with a custom installed 350 Chevy v-8 with B-drive that would crack over 80mph. Running the boat flat with the v-8 was more stable than the chine walking 110 notched out.
