Splashing the Glastron after the full restoration!!! PAYOFF SPEED RUNS!!!

[@eroom2087]

I had a glastron in 1988 that looked like this but it was a outboard 150 mercury and she was maroon and white, had a lot of fun on the lake with that baby skiing, we would go early in the morning when the water looked like a sheet of glass and fool around all day long, got a lot of compliments about that boat, also got checked out a lot by marine officers a lot, I believe it was because of the fine cargo I was hauling 😂

[@r1conobe]

Love the older boats, great job!!

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

Thanks

[@Hot80s]

Love that small block chevy calling the shots

[@mikegriff8372]

Just bought a 78 Glastron OB with 100hp Evinrude Love it. I would like to get mine painted and polished. Good job on your boat.

[@johncarter9054]

Wonder what kind of paint to use. Have a 76 with same motor. Have thought about repaint myself

[@Wingnut353]

@@johncarter9054 You can always give refreshing the gelcoat a shot without completely redoing it.... as long as the underlying paint isn't damaged.

[@ricllinares5929]

Looks awesome,love the old boats

[@Canucker67]

Nice work, watched your vids from start to finish, stumbled across them when I was looking for info on redoing the floor in my 1996 Larson. You've done a great job. that thing has an excellent hole shot and sounds really nice looks like it handles the chop well too. Good work and congrats!!

[@scottkipp5544]

Sounds good....look like its running well

[@stevenrichmond7367]

I have one and absolutely love it there great boats

[@brockjohnson4389]

have one exsactly identicle to this one! bought it in absolute flawless condition from orig 1 owner he bought new with shorelander trailer cover ect.ect trailer was the GOOD ROLL ON TRAILER! I was kinda messing with the guy and said ill give you $500 for it! he asked dont you wanna look at it and i said nope and i bought it!! love the old school and your boat looks well maintained!! nice have fun and be safe man!!

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

Awesome. Be careful with roll on trailers and older boats. They create pressure points that crack the gelcoat.

[@brockjohnson4389]

cool! good looking out! hope u still wave riding old skool.. ol skool the cool mule! ride on!! good to see others appreciate the fine wine with the dust on them like I!

[@scottkipp5544]

Super clean

[@mav4000]

Wow that thing came out nice .

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

@cuban571 PCV valves. Positive Crankcase Ventilator. It takes the fumes from the crank case and puts them into the Carb

[@johncarter9054]

Nice !

[@g_dryburgh]

Very nice boat, the Glastrons have really good lines. I've got a (Glastron) Spirit V180 with a 200 Optimax, had it since new in july 1990 I see you were getting mid 50's in the video and some chine walking, i think these hulls become a bit unstable at 50mph+. With the optimax i'm reaching 73mph :) get some serious chine walk at that speed haha Very nice boat buddy. :)

[@LS6Z28]

@FriscoJarretts I hope so, I am rebuilding the 260/350 on my wellcraft this winter and when I pulled the valve covers I was surprized to see hollow valves. It makes sence. I just didnt know if that was stock mercruiser or if the previous owner modified them because of excessive blowby. But the reading I did said that using a conventional spring loaded pcv wouldnt work. Thats actually what brought me to this vid. clean boat by the way

[@DarrenNemeth]

Thanks for all the great videos! I've enjoyed them all. Kind of sad that you are finished with the boat now. lol No more videos. :(

[@inspector1963]

what is the maximum HP rating for the boat? and what original HP came in it? sounds really good!!

[@anicekid]

I believe an 80hp 2stroke mercury outboard came original.

[@harleyhollywood]

Nice job, that thing hauls butt!

[@seadooxp1997]

I am buying one my dad restored here in a few months. Did the boat give you any issues?? Or anything I should know? He put in a new crate 350 and rebuilt the entire out drive. Just gonna be first told boat owner??

[@cuban571]

hey quick question- the two black hoses that go from the airfilter of the carb to where do they go and what are they for.

[@cuban571]

but how do the fumes get into the carb, if the hoses are not connected to the inside of the carb

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

There is alot more to come and I will have lots of videos this summer.

[@teambaja8619]

Do you have a frame oil filter in this.

[@Vwc3r]

How hard on gas is a 5.7 ?

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

@cuban571 The vacuum from the engine pulls them in.

[@techniciana1843]

nice boat.vec?

[@LS6Z28]

@FriscoJarretts They arent real PCV valves right? There is no vaccume tube going to the manifold to collaps the spring in a PCV valve. These are hollow casings made for this application. Using an automotive PCV valve with the spring without being hooked up to a vaccume port will cause crankcase pressure. At leats thats how I understood it.

[@bentackett6299]

I think you did just fine filming

[@heathk2003]

nice work ... through some smart tabs on her and you will be set !!!

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

@LS6Z28 I think you are right.

[@FriscoBoatersGarage]

@redneckbigboy01 Good Luck and thanks
