My new 1972 Glastron V-156

[TJShag13]

Hello,

I recently purchased a 1972 Glastron V-156. Had the carbs rebuilt on the 1972 Johnson 65 hp right after I bought the boat and now it runs great. First time out had the boat up to 35mph with 4 people. Needs a little work, like having the seats redone, there is a soft spot on the floor in the rear and a few other odds and ends. Here is a picture in all her 70's orange glory!

I started taking out the interior of the boat this weekend to see what kind of shape the floor is in. And as mentioned there is going to be a lot of work ahead for me, but the pictures explain it all.
