1976 Cal Glass

[daveswaves]

Hi, I am looking for info, original specs or anything on this boat. It is a 19.5 foot cuddy with a hard top roof and camper back. Powered with a 165 Mercruiser. There seems to be lots of info on Cal Glass sailboats but little on the power boat. The boat was made on the west coast and I purchased it from a friend living in BC who used it off the coast for fishing. I have since re done everything with new vinyl( can you believe it came from the factory with fake fur glued everywhere)and enjoy sport fishing out of long point bay (Lake Erie Canadian side). I would be particularily interested if anyone is aware of one of these without the hard top perhaps bimini top, still with cuddy. I love the boat and its built like the proverbial brick ****house, but that superstructure is like bringing home a sheet of plywood on a motor cycle. Comments from one oldtimer at a marina "oh yeah I remember those, never went more than 60 MPH even towing it. I get a respectable 32 mph at 4000 rpm and the PWC's love me when I leave the marina! How about it any info on this fibreglass classic.

Hey daveswaves,<br />The fake-fur trim was just a carry-over from the Cal Glass sailboats. The sailboats also came with fuzzybunny deck shoes.<br /><br />c/6<br /><br />Hooty

Thanks Hooty, Hmmm fake fur boat shoes, and the companys no longer in business......hmmmmm. I would still like to remove the hard top on this one, lots of reasons, look over the windshield, won't crack my skull when i hit one of those lake erie "swells".

We do not answer posts from the archives and this one is from 2002 ........ over 9 years ago.

I will close this and let it drift back to it's place.
