I really wish I could find one of these reasoably priced, to mod, they are just killer looking I think. a pair of cummins 12 vavles in one of these, then rip out the bench seat on the starboard side and make the galley a bit bigger and put in an entertainment center there. Boom you got yourself a killer pocket cruiser with some oomph.

Thanks for the encouragement Mark. That's a kick ass Glasstron you have there. I can see a lot of influences/ characteristics from these old boats in a lot of today's west coast high performance boats like dcb, eleminator and ultra. Not to mention it never gets old watching bond thrash around in one. I found a boat you might like, I'll search it up and post it in the sightings thread.

I really have a soft spot for the cabin cruisers. must be my age. Went from speed boats to cruisers. Good luck with your quest. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

It’s a huge project boat that’s going to find its demise. Unless I can find someone who wants to take it. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.
