Last weekend I bought a 1980 Glastron SSV167 (16 foot V-hull outboard) with a 90HP Mariner. The boat is in very good condition, better than any Craigslist "mint" or "excellent" or "immaculate" ads I have seen!
I do not have new pics yet, sorry. I picked it up about 320 miles from home Saturday ( 1/11/2014) and got back late and had to cover it before the neighborhood cats christened the interior for me. I will get new pics this coming weeked. I will post a couple from the Craigslist ad as a teaser.
The sale went well. The ad from this guy was written very intelligently and when we met it was like I bought it from myself the way we clicked. I even talked myself down some
Gelcoat is still shiny all over, top and sides and transom. The floor is absolutely solid and pristine. Transom is solid and not even any spider cracks in any corners, looks pristine. Carpet shows no wear. The vinyl is still soft and the cushions comfortable, just a few wear points if you look closer.
Still on the original ShoreLandr tilt trailer. Bolt on coupler still looked new, bearings recently packed, good winch and jack, and made the 320 mile trip easily, pulled great.
It is the Fish'nSki version but to me seems more Ski than Fish which is fine with me as I do not fish. Has the pedestal and seat for the open bow area, the pedestal when installed is rock solid. The seat look great too. Came with trolling mount and motor and battery mount under the left console and wiring with outlet up front all factory installed. Cooler section up front as well (or a place to put fish in I guess, but no livewell pumps) and under-seat storage. Seat cushions up front snap down.
So I am now in MBS territory, working out storage solutions for both. That is the only downside so far.
