1973 Glastron V-156 Sportster

[fstorm08]

Well I must be crazy! . I picked up another boat project (cheap). However, this is a boat I have wanted since I was 10 years old.

Besides the obvious rotten transom, stringers and deck, the's all there sans engine and stern light.

Once the Glassmaster is done, I'll start on this baby...

The boat you always wanted was a tri-hull?

Working on the Glastron football emblems.

Almost done.



My skills with a brush are about as good as my ability to cut a straight line :redface:

What did you end up doing with the Glastron?

Still got her. She will be my next project after I finish the Glassmaster this spring.
I always wanted one since i was a little kid seeing them on the lake each weekend so she will be rebuilt
The Glassmaster ended but working out being my learning project

Yup

I have always had a soft spot in my head, er, I mean my heart, for Tri-hulls . My first boat was a Tri, and we all had so much fun with it although I do remember the pounding in the chop.

My intellect overrode this last time and helped me hold out for a Glastron SSV167, but a couple of 'Tron Tri's were tugging on my emotions

decided last night to pull out the sportster and pressure wash a bit.

Also pulled up the carpet and what was left of some of the deck and make a dump run

yummmy
