The iboats forum moderators are excited to announce that at this time it appears the iboats forums posting pictures function is working once again. Though we cannot promise for how long, we're hoping for indefinitely.
Nice little Glastron. I can't believe how mint that thing is. It ought to scoot with that 80 on it. You and Your family are going to have a great time this summer.
That is one nice old boat...Man it looks like it just came off the showroom floor... Very well taken care of and a steal at 2k...You can use it for a summer or 2, and make a nice profit towards another boat....I did something like that, bought a bass tracker 2 years ago for 2500, used 2 seasons and sold for 3500....
wow!very nice boat ,about the only thing i dont like is no tilt trim which can be fixed with a aftermarket kit.still a great find ,hope you enjoy,no ,i know youre going to enjoy!
man, i sure do love a tri-hull. especially one that clean for that low of a price! i don't think you'll mind the smaller size too much for what you're saying you want to do with it. it's not like you'll be cruising up the atlantic coast from florida to NY in it! enjoy.
Seriously, not great rough water boats, but awesome for fishing (super stable). That would be an awesome addition to my garage for some of the smaller lakes around here.
Yep. There is a complete CMC unit that would fit that swinger on eBay right now for a little more than 1/2 the price of new. Well, that's the current bid anyway.
I just noticed in the other thread that he put $$ down on it.

Yes sir. I pick it up on Sat and I'm super excited. Now for the Minnesota wait. It's been really nice here (in the 50's) for the past few weeks but I'm guessing we are about 30-45 days out from comfortable tubing weather (without chattering teath). Come on GLOBAL WARMING!!!!!!
I have the same motor as you and I installed PTT on it last summer. I found a very good used Merc system for $200 complete. Took me about 2 hours to install it and another 3 hours to run the hoses and hook up the electrics.
Well worth the money I spent. Can't imagine running the motor without it.
I would want to find out if you could get tilt and trim on that modle back then first, it would be a shame to put it on, with the new shape this is in.
Great find! Man it still shines nice too!
You would want power trim being it is a tri-hull.That way you can trim up in the chop to help the ride.
That 80 will push it really good too.
I had a 17 ft tri-hull Glastron with a 75 Merc on it.. I think it was a 76 model.
Good solid boat! That Merc would fly too..
Sure they did but wasn't offered on the smaller HP engines even though they are 100% compatible. As I said, I put a stock Merc PTT system on my 1971 Merc 800 last summer. The "type 1" system was in use from the last '60s thru till about mid 80's when the design changed.
