Re: 81 Glastron SX-190 Transom and Engine- PICS Galore Update 11-8
You guys are not going to believe this. I popped on CL today and saw a SX-190 Just like mine but in a different color. I called the guy and he said the trailer was for sale, and the boat was free. I knew right there we had trouble... here comes the ridiculous price. He said he was looking to get 400 for the shootin match, but make him an offer. So I hopped in the truck and headed that way. I just wanted to see if there was some parts that I might be able to buy off it. Well when I got she looked really rough. The deck it rotten and the interior is shot. But...... It had emblems and all the shiny stuff that I need, and it was in really good shape. It had a 260 engine that I know for a fact has freeze damage, but has all the other stuff that I need.
So I offered him 200 for the whole thing, and we settled on 250.
So here is my plan.
1. Strip the boat completely.
2. Take the parts that I need for my boat
3. Ebay the transom plate, gimble housing, trim pump, outdrive, and other Misc parts.
4. Cut the boat up or give it away.
I ought to be able to get my money back out of it and still get the parts I need.
