Re: Looking for other Glassmaster boat owners..
just got a 79 glassmaster. says its a 850b, but i cant find anything about it online. i stripped it to see what im workin with. transom is solid, floor is rotton, i junked the motor (chrysler 90) got a johnson 125 lined up, the plaque says it can handle 160hp. its about 20 feet long, but have no idea exactly. we got title, trailer, everything for $400. think we got a good deal, i know how to do fiberglass work very well. the seats were plywood and woodscrews holding everything down, a bag of sand behind the gas tank by the plug, removed it n almost no water came out. the gas tank (internal) i fear needs replaced or atleast looked at internally. the gas cap is no where to be found, and there was a secondary tank by the rear seats in the storage space with a papertowel plugged into the inlet. looks like they took a sawzall n cut into the transome to make the motor fit. the body has no damage except 2 minor cracks in the gel coat, had it all tapped and its nice and solid, just needs gel coat repaired. i emailed a repair shop about fixing the floor, building the transom back up and repairing the cracks, im curious what their quote will be. i figure if the atleast look at it and tell me what needs done, i will have a list of things to fix. glass is in perfect shape. the trailer has some surface rust but nothing major. other than that needs cleaned and waxed.
