It's okay if I resurrect my own thread, right? Back from the Dead baby! Still have my boat, though it's now located in Nebraska of all places! A little scary dragging that thing down through S. Dakota...couldn't keep up with that traffic doing 85mph!
I'm in the process of finally putting my new hull ID numbers on it...what a PITA it was to get those old ones off! Took me 3 days of goof off, a white scrubber, plastic scrapers, gasoline and I just about brought out the trusty Makita and Flap discs to get it all off ( yes, the old Makita is still running as strong as ever ).
I'm 53 now, and the years of hard work have taken a few sails out of the wind, so everything is going at an absolute snails pace. I've had the boat here for almost 4 years now and haven't run the motor, so I'm going to pull the lower unit, replace the impeller for good maintenance and give the ol girl a compression test and see how she's holding up. If the motor doesn't give me any more troubles, I'm going to get some fuel for her after I get the registration finally updated and on her to hit the local lake ( which local isn't as local as it used to be, I've got to drive a half an hour to find a lake that is big enough for the old girl around here, vs falling into a wet hole to drop her in in any direction back in MN )
It's been a while since I've been on the forums, so I figured I'd better update the Glastron build. I've still got to decide on how I want to finish the upholstery, but I've got most of what I need at this point...it's now just a matter of prioritizing the time....oh yeah, I've got a garage now! So no excuses!
