Description:

Up for auction is a GREAT OPPORTUNITY for a Glastron collector or enthusiast to purchase a "James Bond" boat with ALL KEY MECHANICAL backed up or recently replaced - trailer, engine and outdrive!!

Being a big 007 fan I have wanted a 70's modelGlastron ever since I watched Rodger Moore race around Louisiana bayousin Live and Let Die. Three years ago Ifound thisGlastronand also foundaslightly newer AQ130C engine and Volvo Penta 280 outdrive. The engine turned over butdid notrun, so Ibought both. Ispent the next summerswapping the engines andonlyran her a few times this summer. This boat is a true survivor thatturns headsin its current condition,but alsohas the potential to be a show boat if restored by somebody with the knowledge and skill to do so.

This boat is WAY COOL and I hate to see it go, butI need the space in my garage to park a camper Ijust purchased.While I don't know everything there is to know about the boat, I do knowthe engineruns very smoothly as does the original 270 outdrive. Plus, with the parts engine andfully functioning 280outdrive, any future needed parts are there and ready to be swapped out to keep her running for many years. The boat alone is worth the starting bid, so your are practically getting all your major parts for free!

Here are the pros and cons that I am aware of:

PROS:

Trailer: we put new hub and spindle assemblies on when we bought it. Theseare hard to find, so this trailer is good for years.

Volvo Penta 280 outdrive: one of the best made, fully functioning with propeller,tilt& shift cable. Could keep it toreplace the 270 or sell it.

Original AQ130C engine: rebuild it, keep it for parts or dismantle and sell the parts.

CONS:

Sealant around the outdrive should be refreshed

Cooling pipes have silicone sealant applied to them that is not sealing. A pack of cooling pipe gaskets should be installed (available on classifieds board for around $21, part # 18-0590)

Dash is showing its age but it is serviceable.

I am selling the "as is" with no warranty. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me and happy bidding. THANKS!
