Glad you got rid of the metalflake finish...looks great now.
Now all he needs is a 300 Merc

Cool boat! My first boat was a mint, 75 Glastron Carlson, 455 olds w/bekley jet. Most fun boat I ever had! And yes is had the cheesy,gold metal flake. Awesome

I think he's going with a 150 Merc with a hydraulic jack plate...for starters. He had the motor kicking around. Should be a fun ride. I don't even know where that trailer came from. Think it's a bone yard reject.

With a 150 it should run around 60. It will want to chinewalk due to the rounded vee keel. He will want to run solid motor mounts.
