Hello all,
I have been lurking around here for years, and recently "took the plunge" and purchased a 1973 Glastron V-164, with volvo penta B20.. anyhow.. on to business...
Over the weekend (my first real chance to get at her) I tore out the seats, carpet (poorly installed by the po) the original vinyl (an awesome shade of secretion bronze) and now have her bare to the deck, in order to pull it up to check the condition of the flotation foam beneath.
It struck me, that now, while i have her naked would probably be the best time for fiberglass mods if i want to make them, and was considering adding a splashwell starboard of the sterndrive in order to mount a kicker.
Has anybody done that kind of thing? would it be worth it? Should I just go for a kicker mount?
Anyhow, pics to come!!
