Water Drainage System Install Plus Glassing in Stringers and Frames //Project Glastron/Vlog #13

I have a 1970 Crestview tri-hull ? 14 1/2' that the inside was removed This series has been a great educational program for me.

I just won a 1973 glastron bay flite off of an auction for 400$ complete with motor and trailer. I have been watching your videos and following along on my restoration journey. I appreciate you taking the time out to do them. I do the demo of old flooring this weekend when I get time so this helps give me a better idea of what I’m doing next. Thanks!!

Great job Josh. Getting ready to do a similar project. Looks like a pretty thorough job. Thanks for the insight. I needed that.

Just finished watching all your restoration videos. Spotted a Glastron GT160 very cheap but very rough. Watching has given me the confidence to take this on.

I’ve enjoyed your videos and the work you’ve done. You have given me a lot of good ideas for my own project boat. I’m working on an 1992 18ft. Chap era lol.

Thanks for the videos, you gave me hope on my boat project..

Great work! I just spent the afternoon watching your progression. Gives me hope that I can get my Glastron Vagabond back on the water someday.

i would like to say this first what a job for your first project with a boat but what a great job and i have learned a lot and i am going to need it because i have a 1977 viking sport deck boat that i just got and found out the transom is bad but i can't do mine the way you did yours i will have to cut the back off to do my transom but i think after seeing you do all the glassing i think i will be ok. so thanks for all the video and hope to see more on your boat thanks again for all you help. billy

I've watched all of your project Glastron videos, I'm definitely going to do exactly all of this on my '78. Solid build sir. I can't wait to see it out on the water!

Very informative video. Looking forward to the next one.

Thank you for your time putting these videos together. My brothers and I just purchased an old glastron as a family project when we're together (different cities and colleges). If you have more updates planned we'd appreciate it!

Thanks for the reply....it really helps with the decision. My motor, like yours is running strong. I just need to rebuild the transom for sure and more than likely the stringers. Im figuring around 1500 for the project give or take.....my boat is a 77 arrowglass cougar 14 ft. Shouldnt be too bad now that i have followed yours and frisco boaters vlogs...learned alot...thanks for the help and i will keep you informed.

Glad I found your channel, just bought a Glastron with a braked trailer for a bargain price of 60 uk pounds. Most of the deconstruction is already done with the deck cut out and stringers removed and supplied for use as templates, having watched this video I'm definately going to put your drainage system in when I start work on it this spring and summer. Thanks Chris

You should seal your raw wood with a few layers of laminated resen before glassing because the raw wood will soak up the resin causing a dry laminate also I like to use one layer of chopped strand matting and two layers of 1708

I had a riviera bowrider trihull chaparral boat, I just took it back to the guy who originally built/designed it down in ft lauderdale/ west palm beach and he redid all the bulkheads and foam and everything and gave it a whole new life and new stamp of approval. The under the seat areas were made into live baitwells, and half the front was glassed over and foamed to make a front deck space strong enough to walk on, More foam was added in places for more buoyancy not that it needed it but it was like re-invigorated. New comfy seats and tinted windows. Remade side panels, red white blue paint job. A piece of fabric that goes between the walkway that snaps in with button snaps, a Bimini top etc.. like a whole new boat.

Nice and informative videos!

Awesome bro!

I find the bonds plastic spatulas work the best at getting the fiberglass flat.

Intersting concept, i hawe never seen tis particular type of hull before, but looks like a good combination of relativly good size but still able to handle shallow water if i understand right from looking at the pictures. I like it too i must say. (Sorry for my English...)

Love the work you are doing a lot of great tips thank you very much can't wait for next video also if you could give me a list for fiberglass product
