Didn't remember them having that nice of a cabin. An I/O instead of a jet too.
Pretty nice piece.

That's interesting to me as well.

I always thought of that boat (the Glastron) as a lake boat (partially why I never bought one) and not a rough water boat.
My take was, not enough freeboard, or deep enough vee.

Guess I wasn't paying attention ;)

Gary, this is the Ghost 23 boat that is running class 7 and doing well. You can see the deck resembles. Have to also give credit to Peter, he is one crazy driver.......:D

Rob, never get tired of watching those videos!!
Also have to give lots of credit to those bothers they sure knew how to make all their boats run, not to mention they very rarely broke, just amazing!

Shows a good hull won't need pos trim. Runs flat and efficient, stays on the water and keeps the prop pushing the boat. One heck of a design and incredible boat handling skills. Motors not doing bad either.

[quicklt1]

They used to keep motors deep , didn't use nose cones that may of helped save the lowers ?

It sold for 4800. Somebody got a LOT of boat for that price!
