Also, this is def a fixer upper. The pics make it look a lot better than it really does. The seats need new support frames, and the fiberglass could really use a good waxin'. It's all coming soon....

 

Nice boat!!!! Especially for a 1973. Have fun with it. Can't name her Woody, because she's a she. I'll let you know if I think of anything.

 

to get to Pomme De Terra,
You will go west on I-44
to exit 129, Lebanon
turn right at exit and stay on that road
follow 64 west all the way to pomme de terra.

There is a free ramp on (Hwy RA) to the right of 64, all the way at the end about 2-3 miles cant miss it. "RA" ends in the free to camp, corps camping grounds. Running water, public jons, no electricity.
Or there is a nicer ramp on down on the right at the end of 64A.
64A splits off of 64 to the left and ends in the corps pay to camp site, also a Nice beach down there.

We are going to the free camp sites in two weeks.
I took my tub out at Pomme for first ride of the year saturday.

 

Dude how about our 1969 Glastron????

Shes a beauty!

 

I can't believe this has gone this far without a request for pics of ZA's Mom in a bikini on the bow...

Nice looking boat! have fun with the fixup...and remember the two best days of owning a boat...

the day you buy it and the day you sell it.

 

Can i race too?

 

NOPE... nothing over 25' is allowed on that lake.
It is a wildlife preserve lake, big boats tear up the shores, faster than the corps can repair them, with thier wakes.

I'll meet you at Lake Ozark, you can run it there, and then you could beat me.
That lake is to rough for me, I wont run WOT except thru the week when the 90' yachts with their 12' tall wakes arent ideling around.
I tore my boat up pretty bad down there one weekend last year jumping off of ones wake....

Can;t wait to take teh jet ski down there though!

 

Good, our boat is 24' with the swim platform.

Oh ya, i can run wide open through most waves. She handles pretty well if you can stay on top of them.

Id love to give you a ride in it. I have never been in a boat with such quick responce. I think it would take my truck.

 

I thought you were pushing 30'...

Bring that SOB down here then!

I know my boat would take the truck in cornering, no doubts. I can almost stand it up on transom and come back thru my own wake.
It'll take it out of the hole too.
I haven't even put on my new prop yet.

Boat is also rated to haul 3/4 ton of weight too..... plate reads 1200 lbs of passengers, 300 lbs of gear.

My boat is better than my truck!
I'd never thought about it in comparison before.

 

You were that excited when taking photos?

Nice float.

 

I've always heard that....
after one full year, many benjamins and many many many hours working on it, I still beg to differ. I've enjoyed every minute of it. Wished it was cheaper to work on, but I wish gas was cheaper too, doesnt mean I'm not going to buy it or do it becasue of it.

Even when I was broke down 6 miles from the truck and trailer.... I have always had a blast just being on the water.
The only reason I would ever sell was to upgrade, but not until I've had the new one for a while and would be sure that I am happier with it than I am this one.

 

Nice boat Have fun with it!!

 

Not a chance in hell! And I think the saddest day I will own it is when I have to sell it. I think it was the same for the guy who sold it to me, you could tell he didn't want to see it go. He's had several boats but he had this one the longest.

 

Boats are money pits that float....



but man they are fun....

 

This is a true statement!


Also,
There is nothing more expensive than a cheap boat.
