My 1968 Glastron GT160 rebuild......

Corjen1.
It looks like the plywood piece under the windshield at the floor is a little to tall. Pics may be misleading though.
Anyway you can lift the top back up just enough to trim it about a inch right in the center where the walkway is?
Being a Aircraft person also you and i both know. Nothing flies(floats) until it's right!
Now i know no ones life is depending on it being right but i bet it will bug the s**t outta you knowing it is not right

Patin, Ill check that out!!

Have I told you guys I despise wiring....??? 10 hours of the mind numbing carp!! The entire boat is wired, short the trim pump and hooking up the JBL amp.

This is all I have to show you....no "lektrik" tape or butt splices, all joints/connectors soldered and heat shrinked.

I lucked out here.. this chine is outside the transom area!!!!






I did manage to find the hot end of the solder iron with the side of my leg....its hot!!

Nice neat job on the wiring ... I'm not real fan of doing wiring either... I spend most of the time scratching my head ....

Nice looking job on the wiring Cor....neatness is a big plus in my book when it comes to wiring, yours is excellent.

Your wiring job looks good to me. The wiring under our Starcraft's splashwell is not neat at all. It works, but could use cleaning up. Yeah wiring isn't my favorite job either. One more thing to check off your list though, and a neat job at that.:thumb:

Wiring is a snap....no problems at all. When you hook up the battery and flip the switch, whatever is wired wrong will smoke and melt. :facepalm: You can always find your mistakes. Everything is really looking good and professional. Once again I say nice job.

 

[Corjen1]

All wiring complete sans the trim pump!! Also got to do some functional checks!!!!













One more on next post... if I can get it to load....

Looks like you are getting really close to a spash!

Looks like you are getting really close to a spash!

Arch, the plan is the 3rd week in July...Still a ways to go, but definitely getting there!!

Decided to put the decals on the ToP tonight...came out pretty good I think!!







Have a great evening!!

 

[Tnstratofam]

ToP is looking good and will add to the beauty of the boat it's gonna power.

 

[Woodonglass]

WOW!!!! Just WOW!!!!!!

 

[Corjen1]

Just a note for the future folks. the 115 is supposed to be at the back....I F!@#$ up and put mine on backwards.... They are staying that way though!!

 

[archbuilder]

Hmmmm now I'm wondering how I put mine on.....I'll have to go look! Looks great anyway, don't thin anyone will ever notice!

Well no one is gonna notice that!

 

[Tnstratofam]

Corjen if anybody says anything to you about the stickers being on backwards after seeing the attention to detail you've put into this resto I will personally drive from North East Tennessee and smack them silly!

Well okay maybe I'll just give them a stern look of dissaproval from affar. I seriously doubt anyone will notice though.

Mercury screws up a lot of things, I say the 115 belongs exactly where you put it, on this remarkable Glastron restore!...she's a cool old mistress, hope she treats you well

 

[Woodonglass]

Personally I think Mercury Screwed up!!! I like your way MUCH BETTER!!!!
