Re: What to do with this crack?
Your about 500 miles due north of me. I got my Glasspar off of eBay but had seen it in use not long before buying it nearby. Not likely their anyhow 'related' but I just though it a coincidence that someone else did pretty much the exact same decal and repair. Even more of a coincidence is that after I sanded mine down, (the upper cap was painted dark blue), the original color was bright red.
The name had also been changed from Big Red to Wild Thing, they painted right over the Big Red logo and stuck the Wild Think letters right over top. That's all gone now, I completely stripped the boat down and plan to do a complete resto on it soon. I'm not sure how many owners this boat has had, it's been all the way across the country since it was new. The earliest paperwork I have is from 1967, it was in Washington state back then, then in 1974 it was registered in Nebraska, then in 1977, in Missouri. So each time it got sold, it came a little farther east, until I finally bought it in Delaware and brought it to NJ. I'd not have bothered to keep it other than the fact that the last owner had just done a new floor and stringers and it had a mint clean Mercury 400 on it and a year old trailer. the trailer was why I bought it, I didn't even realize it came with the motor when I won it on eBay. It cost me more in gas to go get it than I paid for the boat so I was really happy when I saw the motor on it.
