What do you guys think about the 1978 Glastron SSV-177 with a 120hp mercruiser? Any common problems? Are Glastron boats of good quality? Any advice? Thanks all!

Re: 1978 Glastron

The boat is an antique, the condition it is in now has nothing to do with build quality, but the life it has lead. Glastrons of that era were lightly built in my opinion, for speed. If it has been out in the elements, it is rotted top to bottom. The 120 merc is a great reliable motor, but just the same, could be worn completely out.

I have a 1978 SSV-188 with a 140hp Johnson. Mine is still in great shape and I love it. Pics below.
