Im very new to boats, but have been a mechanic for half my life. I have some boat questions.
I found a 2005 Glastron 205gx. Great price. It has two issues that i have concern. The hull has two spots where they
tagged a small rock and it dug into the fiberglass. Its not leaking, but its about a 1 inch wide gash.. In two places. Should that be a deal killer right there??
Second question is when he put it in reverse and was backing up, it just sounded odd. The engine sounded perfect but it just made a vibration vibrating growly noise in reverse.... Also when driving it would have a vibration to it that seemed to go away when you got up to speed.. The boat has 92 hours on it.. Looks very well taken care of and super clean.
Any thoughts/tips/suggestions??
