Hammond boat questions
Purchased this Hammond V1750 Grenada about a year ago as a mild project to fix up and resell. Now that it is in full working order I was wondering if anybody would be able to give me a ballpark figure for resale value? Any collectors of Hammond/ classic Glastron boats out there? If so where would be the best place to list it for sale?
A little history on the boat. When I bought it the previous owner had disclosed that they were concerned about a knocking sound coming from the bottom end. Upon pulling the engine I realized that the sound was most likely coming from two bolts laying in the bottom of the bellhousing that had rattled loose. After pulling the oil pan to verify that all bearing clearances were within spec, I then reinstalled the two flywheel bolts, replaced almost all seals/ gaskets except head gasket and buttoned it back up. I then removed all the teak trim and refinished it, pulled all the interior out to clean it up and did the stator to alternator conversion. I also cut, buffed, polished and waxed the outside. During this previous summer I took it out on the river a handful of times and it ran awesome but I was getting a slight vibration while turning so I pulled the outdrive and found one of the driveline u-joints to have a slight amount of play. U-joint has since been replaced and vibration is gone.
