First time boat owner!

[MaxSmith]

Hello everyone and thank you for having me! Like the title says, I'm new. Decided it was time for me to have my own boat so I can fish whenever I want and I stumbled across this old Glasply. I'm pretty sure most people would have run for the hills after seeing it but I looked at it and said to myself nothing a little blood, sweat and tears cant fix. It will give me more enjoyment fixing it then it knows ( I like to fix things).

So, I'm now the owner of a 1973 Glasply, 19' runabout. The interior needs to be gutted completely and redone which I will enjoy doing. Exterior besides a few scuffs a dings looks to be in good shape. Mercruiser 165 inline 6 runs just needs some lovin.

You came to the right place, welcome aboard!! I was going to ask you to post the HIN number but see it's actually visible in photo # 3.

My folks had a 165 straight 6 GM in their 1973 19' Reinell and yes it did "FLY".

Our 73 21’ express had the same exact upholstery as yours, brings back memories!

My dad fished that exact vessel type, hard top, with a buddy (boat was the buddy's) out of Newport Oregon for Salmon for years! Same Power package and went like the dickins!
