Bad News

The motor is shot. Taking it to the scrapyard this weekend. The boat will soon be put up for sale to somebody who has the time and money for it.

Boat Interior

Thinking about going the garage floor epoxy route with my boat's interior. Thoughts?

SHE FLOATS!

That's right. I put her in the water yesterday. She looked good out there with no seats, rub rail, motor and an oar for power in a half acre pond. I really put her out there so I could clean up the trailer and replace the carpet and rollers. No list so far.

Rub Rail Update

My question's been answered. Here's the response to my email:


$ 5.50 per foot 2 week delivery Mastercard or Visa.

I have a 1959 Glasspar Sport Lido that I am restoring. I would like to get some pricing information on Wefco Profile: 0001 ¾ G-6. I believe I’ll will need about 35 feet in white. I would also like to know how long it would take to get. Thank you for any information you can provide.

The Rub Rail Search

I believe I've found the rub rail I've been looking for. I've matched a cross section of mine to Wefco Profile: 0001 3/4 G-6 . I have an email in to find out some pricing info for about 35 feet in white. I also have a call in with a friend of mine's husband to take a look at the motor to see what needs to be done.

Update

On the internet hunt for a new rub rail. Found out that Wefco was the original supplier to Glasspar. Now to see if they still make what I need...and how much will it cost me.

Glasspar Question..

Anybody else out there restoring or have a working Glasspar?

Progress...Really!

In the process of taking all the metal hardware off of the boat. Built a stand for my motor and removed that last week. That's an awkward SOB. Waiting for Matt's help removing some of the more stubborn hardware. I'm also going to be drilling out the old cover button snaps that were rivited in. Need to take more pictures so that I can figure out where all these cables go when I try to put this bugger back together.
