    1984 Evinrude V6 150HP VRO - For Sale - Asking $1500

    I am considering the sale of my 1984 Evinrude V6 150HP VRO outboard motor. The motor runs strong, although I have not had it compression tested. The boat that it came off of is in a state of disrepair at the time, so the motor is on a stand. I will also include the OMC controls that are...

    1978 Glastron 175 HPV rebuild

    Re: 1978 Glastron 175 HPV rebuild The outer skin and the splashwell area are about 1/4" thick. I don't actually have a clamp on the motor. It's bolted to the power trim unit, which, at the top, measures a full 3". It has a couple lips that hang over the splashwell (picture attached). You can...

    1978 Glastron 175 HPV rebuild

    Re: 1978 Glastron 175 HPV rebuild I also realized that I have not shown any interior pictures of the Glastron, so here are some additional demolition pics. You can see there is absolutely no foam in the hull between the stringers. One of the previous owners also cut the fiberglass seats in...

    1978 Glastron 175 HPV rebuild

    Re: 1978 Glastron 175 HPV rebuild Well, at long last, the cap is FREE!! I had to sacrifice some of the splashwell because try as I might, I could not get a tool underneath to cut it loose. I do think I discovered why the cap wouldn't fit back on after the Seacast pour. In one photo, you can...

    1978 Glastron 175 HPV rebuild

    Re: 1978 Glastron 175 HPV rebuild Some more work done, but still no definitive answers on how to get the cap off or whether to even take it off. I really could use some guidance as to what you guys would do. Here's the update: Secast has been poured all the way to the bottom of the boat. In...

    Bass boat cap removal help needed

    Re: Bass boat cap removal help needed This is exactly the problem I have with my Glastron 175. The entire splashwell is glassed in on the interior of the boat and I cannot get to it in order to free up the cap. A PO poured Seacast into the transom area, but failed to put the top back on...

    1978 Glastron 175 HPV rebuild

    Re: 1978 Glastron 175 HPV rebuild OK. It's been 100 degrees here and had stuff going on, so didn't have a lot of time to work on the boat, but late in the afternoon, I decided to cut into the top of the transom to see what's going on. Lo and behold, one of the previous owners installed Seacast...

    1978 Glastron 175 HPV rebuild

    Re: 1978 Glastron 175 HPV rebuild Well, my son and I got the Evinrude 150 VRO V6 off the back of the boat, today. What a behemoth of a motor. Almost lost it a couple times off the hoist because the darn thing is so back heavy. It kept wanting to shift. Also stripped off all the metal and trim...

    1978 Glastron 175 HPV rebuild

    Re: 1978 Glastron 175 HPV rebuild It's amazing what you start to uncover when you start taking a boat apart. Got the rub rail off today and it would appear that someone has split this boat before...who knows how long ago. When they did it last time, they did not seat the top fully down over the...

    1978 Glastron 175 HPV rebuild

    Re: 1978 Glastron 175 HPV rebuild Thanks for the quick reply. I've added that first pic again with the jut out highlighted. The transom would appear the be angled in this boat and not straight up and down. and that little jut point has me confused as to why it's there. All those threads you...

    1978 Glastron 175 HPV rebuild

    Hey guys, I'm attaching a few pictures of a 1978 Glastron 175 HPV I picked up on the cheap. I love the lines of this boat and I knew going in it would probably be a top-off rebuild. You can see in one of the pictures that there has been significant stress put on the back of the boat and has...
