Here is a link to my boat restoration site: Glastron T-162. . It isn't really informational, just quite a few pictures.<br /><br />Here is what the boat looked like new (21 years ago): New boat link <br /><br />Here is one old picture:

<br /><br />Here is one new picture:

<br /><br />Next good sunny day, I need to take a bunch new pictures from the same angle as I did when the boat was first photographed.<br /><br />Sorry if the pictures are too big.

That was the first of many trips hopefully. July 1st marks the beginning of scallop season. I think after a few hours in the hot sun scalloping and fishing will convince my wife real quick to loosen the grip of the pocketbook and let me buy a bimini top.<br /><br />All my kids swim (including the 3-year-old boy and 5-year-old girl) with a mask/goggles so maybe they will be able to collect a few scallops themselves.<br /><br />I'll take some good pictures later of the boat.

Re: Glastron boat restoration pictures

Thanks guys. It was so much work, but I take pride in knowing that I didn't spend a boat-load of money (sorry about the pun) on a new one.<br /><br />I'm slowly working my way up to newer and nicer.<br /><br />I hope to buy a bimini top, depth finder, and bow-mounted trolling motor this year. I eventually might get a GPS, but that'll have to wait.
