I have a 88' 70hp Johnson on a 15' Glastron. The motor runs great except for out of the hole. When I throw the throttle down, the motor hesitates before getting power. I tried pulling a skier and it would bog down completely and never get power. I have cleaned the carbs and everything looks...
A just acquired an old MFG Gypsy 12' bowrider and it is in pretty decent shape. I believe it is from 1977. Deck and transom seem solid and I have yet to find even a spider crack on the outside of the hull. To my surprise, I found no results on the forum for MFG. Does anyone have any...

I am rebuilding a 67 Glastron and I am considering making a bench seat for the helm. Here is what I have in mind...
Does anyone have experience with making something like this? I am having trouble finding folding brackets that I can use to connect the back to the seat. Also, is the some...
I am in the process of restoring a 1967 Glastron. I am replacing the stringers and deck, and plan to reinforce the transom a bit. I removed the glass on the inside of the transom to expose the plywood; however, the plywood does not reach the hull bottom but instead there is a half inch gap...
