Re: power tilt/trim question on 1974 140 merc sterndrive
Are you kidding?? I don't think Glastron/Carlson ever built a bad boat...just ask James Bond! (Live & Let Die...I LOVE that movie). I can't truthfully say I know a lot about your particular model, but Glastron didn't establish the reputation they have today by building poor quality boats. <br /><br />I just refurbished the 18 ft. Beachcraft (mfg. in Oregon...looks like a Sea Ray wanna be...only with a lot of metal flake) I bought new in 1980. Originally it had a 305 but I upgraded to a 350 (piece of cake...everything bolted right up!) It moves out pretty well...57-ish...I'm very pleased. All new interior, floor, transom, stringers etc... Always garaged so the exterior is still excellent...I get a lot of compliments...people can't believe she's 22 yrs. old!<br /><br />Walt
