    Glastron v153 with johnson 85

    Re: Glastron v153 with johnson 85 Wow! I wonder if it keeps good time or just ticks for tickin's sake. Speaking of the dash, my Glastron came with merc from the dealer. It still had the Mercury tachometer when I got the boat. Does your tach have any kind of brand name markings on it? That...
