Re: Any or how many Glasply owners out there?
Thought I would say hello and briefly tell you how I just became a Glasply owner. About a year ago, my wonderful wife, and I decided to buy a boat. We went through the discussions of boat type, size, amenities, gear and so on. We settled and agreed that 22 to 24 would be perfect for us, allowing room for friends, and room for some serious fishing and crabbing. And so the research started, as did the boat savings account. After some weeks, we both settled on 3 or 4 different boat makes, Glasply being one of them. I became a
craigslist addict. For months, every night, drove my wife crazy, until one night I came out of the office with the ad for our boat. When she read it, she agreed we should call. I did and found a veteran boater, and very nice fellow on the other end. He had a "24'" Glasply sitting on a tandem axle trailer, down in the southwestern part of the state.(wa.) The price was so low that I first questioned the ad, but he verified it. So now I have a 5-6 hour drive, and no time to do it, due to work. I said Saturday, and he said be early, a dozen others would be coming too. So the next morning,(Wed.) I left the house at 3 A.M. enroute to Long Beach. When I saw it, I about croaked. I'm looking at a '69 23' Glasply cuddy with hardtop, in really nice shape. With believe it or not.........Radar, working.
My wife says I'm getting to windy, so suffice it to say, I bought it, and am now about ready to fish with it, set aside a couple of small problems, that I will be asking advice on, here on the forum.
Look forward to sharing with everyone.
