She's a '71 Glastron w/'86 90hp Evinrude. Yeah I know the stickers say "Johnson", we thought they looked better agin the new paint ...
Motor is as high as she'll go without a jackplate. Motor's punched .030 w/some other minor mods. 140 carbs, etc. Running an old 13 3/4 x 23 OMC SSTss overhub prop under a Bob's Machine 'true tracker" cav plate. Best top speed gps: 54.2.
Deck off hull up (inside) restoration couple years ago. Transom, stringers, floor, etc. All rigid composite board & biax cloth. I'm guessin' fully loaded with my scrawny butt & 15 gals of fuel she still weighs under 1000lbs.
Exterior/gel coat not too bad. Came from OH. However. The previous owner was a fisherman who liked to drill holes & mount a buncha stuff in every imagionable location.
Oh well it's a fast little boat & a blast to drive. I take it out every sunday 'less I break something. Hope you like her.

86'? Not in my pocket, but I'll keep my eyes open for one. That would wake her up a little more. Get you that 55mph+! Might let you swing another p on the prop too! whoo hooo

Thanks Billy, yeah she's a blast to drive. She's humiliated more than one person who thought they had a fast boat, big or small, or jetski even. I have more dang fun with that lil Glastron than oughta be allowed.
Yeah it'd be cool if you could keep your eyes open for an exhaust tuner Mark. They appear to be few & far between down here?
