    1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration.

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. After marking the cut area, I used the roto zip saw to cut the bottom of the splashwell from side to side as far as the circular attachment would allow. I then converted it over to the zip router and cut across the drain hole indentions, through...

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. I got after it today for a few more hours after spending most of the day running around with the wife and kids. I decided it was time to just go ahead and remove the metal strips that hold the cap to the hull and cut through the transom on the...

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. Well, I guess everything worked out pretty well. I did have to hoist the motor up a bit before I pull the steering tube out. There just really wasn't enough room without doing so. I just hope I remember that when it goes back on. I did mount...

    Re: 1982 Glastron Hpv165 bass boat restoration. Today I assembled the engine hoist and lined everything up to see how I may go about removing the motor from the hull and then mounting it on my stand. It seems like it should roll under right how it would need to. Im right out of excuses for...
