    I have ALWAYS wanted one of these since I saw them at a boat show in maybe 1973.

    Gorgeous boat. Beautiful resto work.
    After watching this, I'm missing my late 60's Glastron Jetflite. That little 14' 2+2 with a 75hp Johnson Stinger was a wake jumping fiend!
    I recall following a big aft-cabin jumping a three foot swell when the hull split. Luckily the boat had a crazy amount of flotation in it and was able to make it to a beach. With the help of a few beachgoers, we were able to tilt the boat onto its side to drain the water out and used duct tape to patch it just enough to get back to the trailer. Duct tape was our go-to before there was Flex Seal. LoL.
    Nice boat. Beautiful. Memories...

    This is exactly the motivation I needed to see!. I recently purchased a 86 Carlson cvx 17 with the same outboard motor you have. I’m excited to get it running after I receive the new stator.
    Thanks for sharing!

    I love the old Glastrons. I had a 74 GT160, cool boat. The James Bond movie, Live and Let Die, used a Glastron GT 150 for the record breaking jump in the movie.

    wow you did a great job on your glastron the boat looks incredible, i have done a few older boats myself so I get what it takes to do the work, because of what it costs to buy new sport boats that I can't afford redoing old boats is my only option, I'M REALLY IMPRESSED, you did a awesome restoration, the boat looks fantastic! I am currently restoring a 2005 Checkmate pulsare that was in a field for 10 years hopefully it will look as nice as yours turned out PS I paid a 1000 dollars for the boat pennies on the dollar!

    Nice job on the resto , I did a 72 GT160 with a 87 Merc 115 and my current 74 CV21 both full blown restos . The 115 Merc is a beast , miss that one . My CV 21 has a Olds 455 it's a nice cruiser. Enjoy !

    The paint looks to be LaserBlue like mine originally did, without the fade...
    Well done! Trim it out and let her fly!

    Why don't they make small cool boats like this anymore?

    • @jeffmurphy9987
      @jeffmurphy9987 9 месяцев назад +4

      Because those boats don’t weigh a ton or produce a 3 foot wave that destroys everything around it and they can’t charge 150K for it. Also not enough room to fit a huge stereo and speakers to annoy everyone else on the lake. Lol

    What’s something like this cost? Is this one for sale?

      @RoadLessTrekked  6 месяцев назад

      It's not for sale, I would estimate 10-15,000 with all work done myself.
