    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. Ok. Thanks again you guys for the added information. I took as many measurments of the hull as possible and then decided on the areas I would install my cross braces. I cut the braces, and built the bow shoring brace and got everything...

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. Here's another pic of the unsuported bow area for you jigngrub. Do you still think I should build another support for it?

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. Ok jigngrub, I just got her leveled from side to side and from front to back. However, the top of the hull along the gunwale is contoured so I leveled the side to side on the sterrn, the middle and the bow. I leveled the front to back on the...

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. I plan tomorrow to begin cutting the floor out. Can anyone tell please tell me if I'm ok to start cutting. The boat is sitting on the trailer and I have removed as much weight from the hull as possible. Before I cut, I am going to take a series...

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. Next, I removed the carpet and some foam in a few spots up in the bow of the boat to find water soked foam in the bottom corners. Big surprise! I have no idea what the previous owner used for glue, but holy crap it wouldn't pull up for anything...

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. Hey thanks jigngrub. Now I know what they're called and I already have a plan in mind as of how to redo and seal them off. If you notice on the cap, there are vent holes directly above those cells. So water gets in there for sure. Problem is...

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. And here are just a few more pics of stuff that I would love as many opinions on as possible please. It just seems to me that all of this foam in the gwhale areas and in those 2 box shaped structures which I would also love to know the real term...

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. Now that the cap was out of the way, and especially that it was sitting out in the drive way in the sunlight, I found some stuff that had I known it was like that, I would have never put the boat in the water. Some of the things I noticed last...

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. Daniel1947. There are a few islands out in the middle of the lake. One is called Antelope island. There is a lot of wildlife on the island itself and they have built a road across the lake connecting the island to the mainland. I could drive...

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. I didn't manage to get much done today except for throw together the stands that the cap will sit on. I suppose thats pretty necessary but I wish it was actually sitting on them right now. Oh well, I guess I will see what tomorrow brings. I...

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. I was also a bit worried that the console wouldn't lift high enough to let the stern of the hull pull underneath of it, but it turns out that I have plenty of room for the move. So tomorrow or the next day I will be bringing it back down onto some...

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. After that, I started with the stern and went from side to side working my way forward bringing it up 3 cranks at a time and before you know it, up she went. Ha-ha!

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. Hey everyone. I didn't get much done at all yesterday but some clean up to make it easier to move the hull around. But tonight I got her tied up and lifted. I was pretty worried at first but everything worked out great. No creaking or popping or...

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. After I felt somewhat comfortable with the gantry system I decided it was time to build the cap lift cradle itself. Now I know this seems like a very strange way to do this, but the way the cap is designed with the forward casting deck, the...

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. Sorry about the double post, but there seems to be a problem with the way I trying to post pics. After I built the third upright, I lag screwed a few boards into the wall on one side of the gantry system. I then drilled some holes in those...

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. So here's what I managed to get done today. I think I'm ready to start the cap lift. Jbcurt00, im gonna take your advice and get the steering wheel and the windscreen out of the way before the lift. I also added another upright to support the...

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. Oh yeah, jbcurt00. I just noticed that you honor your pup in every post. I think it's great that you have it set up to do that! I wish I could do the same without feeling like I robbed something from you. I just lost my "good, good boy" 3 days...

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. Next, I cut and installed some boards at the bottom to both act as feet and to help stabilize the legs at the bottom of the uprights from further spread under the weight of the cap. After that I kind of ran out of juice with it for the night and...

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. I then cut the legs down to the height that would fit for the space I have and hopefully maintain enough room to lift with. Next I built some small cross members and fastened them in between the legs toward the top to keep help stabilize the...
