2002 glastron 175 purchase

[vipertblck]

Been posting here with various first time boat purchases I've been searching. I don't know much and am new to boats, most of work will be done by me as I have mechanical knowledge. I'm primarily searching for gimble bearings being replaced, bellow boots, and any soft spots in the floor. Any other stuff to look for, also how is glastron as a manufacturer?

I hate to break it to you, but that boat does not have a 4.3 V6, it has a 3.0 4cyl. I would be worried that the seller doesn't know what engine they have.

3.0?! Call me an idiot, but that comes out to a 4 cyl with my numbers?

yep. The ad says the boat is 4.3 V6 and has a pic of it with a 3.0l 4 cyl. they could have another boat for sale and mixed up the pics, but I would call and double check what engine it has.
