77 Glastron futura v-162

[Swivelhart]

I just got another boat the other day. Found it on craigslist for $700. It was in the same family it's whole life but sat under a walnut tree untouched for two years. I dont see any transom stress cracks and the floors are solid as a rock (I know this does not mean things are perfect beneath).I took a chance and gave the guy $200 plus an older 8hp outboard for it. The interior is rip free and everything is original but it is dirty!!! I plan on cleaning it first chance I get and then try to get the motor going. I will post pictures of progress from time to time. I got all the original manuals and everything with it too which is usually a good sign if the owners haven't lost this stuff in 34 years.

Here it is without a wash or anything.

Sounds like a nice find. Good looking boat.

Looks a little better now after a wash job. Drained lower unit oil and was like it just came out of a new bottle. The engine fired up without much effort at all and idled great.

I have always loved the lines of that model.
