Glastron SSV-167

I call this a 2018 because it is literally 95% new...but the hull ID is a 1981. I didnt think I would do this, but our boating wants/needs have changed and thisGlastronSSV-167 that I have been restoring fornearly2 years is now for sale. So yourelooking at the price, and I know what youre thinkingWhat? No motor for that price??? I promise you that you will be impressed by my modern take on this classic boatand youll like what you see. Take a look around and see if you can find another SSV-167 for sale. There might be a couple(there are), but I guarantee that NONE of them compare to this oneeven without a motor. This is an increasingly rareGlastronmodel, andI wont say that there was no expense spared (I didnt have it painted professionally, for example), but I was very careful in choosing all components and made sure to make quality decisions because I wanted this boat to be the best 16 classic boat on the lake. I have over $5000 in this boat as it sits todayso what youre getting is a virtually brand new boat that just needs an engine to get going on the water.

Heres what Ive done-

Complete teardown, I split the cap and hull. New stringers and cross members. New floor with marine grade plywood. The floor is completely filled with flotation foam, except the ski storageand fuel tank bays, water drainage front to backisinstalled.I used marine epoxy andpolyresinwhere applicable.

Nautolexfloor covering front to back.SeaDekcan be applied on top of this, which was my plan for next year.

Brand new transom made from two laminated layers of marine grade plywood.Solid as can be.

Stripped down to basegelcoat, primed with Petit Marine Primer, painted in International Orange and Dark GrayAwlGripTop Coat paint. This is a trailer boat and all of the experts I talked to said not to worry about bottom paint. The paint isnt perfectbut its damn good.

Completely new interior. I did not use a single piece of original interior flooring, seating, or sidewalls. I had a hotrod upholsteryspecialist(Mike at Unique Customs, Pulaski, WI)do the entire interior (except driver and passenger seats, which are brand new Wise seatsmounted on Attwood swivel pedestals) for me and it looks the price I paid for it all (a shade over$1900in all, its beautiful).

Brand new18 gallon in floorfuel tank from RDSin Florida.All newfuel hoses(Continental), new fuel vent, new fuel filler.

Brand new batteryis a 1000MCA/800CA(Napa), two new battery trays. Add a second battery easily at your convenience, cables are already in place.

Battery 1 / 2 switch(Blue Seas 9001e)that will run them individually, or combine them.

The windshield glass is original, but I took the frames apart and had them anodized in black, and I cut the flying buttress section away to make for a more modern look.Green Bay Anodizing did this work for me.

All new gauges, new steering wheel, newJensenspeakers (but I have not installedastereo head. I have my idea of where I wouldmount itbut didnt purchase one). The speedometer has all new plumbing and new blade.New anchor currently stored in the bow seats.

Completely new wiring front to back with new fuse block.

All new LED lighting for bow and stern.New stern light base mount. The stern light when not used is hidden mounted under the ski locker cover.

Newreboardingladder that I modified to a folding ladder fit in storage.

New air horn system (loud and sounds VERY Italian!).

New boat cover.

The only items that I did not replace, due to availability and wanting to keep some original character, are the rub rail, bilge air scoops, cleats, rub rail corner piecesreally wanted to replace those but was not able to find new onesand bow grab rails.

The trailer is a 2006ShoreLandrthat has a new crank, new Shelby jack, new bow bumper, freshly restored wheels and bearing buddies, and brand new tires (zero miles).All lighting works and all grounds checked and verified solid.Wheel bearings greased June 2018.New Boat Buckle tie down straps.

This is a 95%+BRAND NEW boat and I am so proud of this restoration. You will be too. I have a 20 page build log available on the ClassicGlastronforum if you want to see every detail along the way. Its all documented, and its all done correctlyand dare I saybetter than new.
