1960 Center Deck Glasspar G-3
This is the classic ski boat that started it all.
This is one of the finest G3s in the country. Completely ready for show or go!
The Boat
The hull and deck were separated and completely restored.
The transom was replaced with the original curve as it came from the factory except that it is 20 inches tall instead of the original 15 inches to accept modern engines.
The hull has had the ride pad added to the bottom that improves handling. No more porpoising!
The boat now has a 12 gallon fuel tank mounted under the front deck with a deck mounted fill cap and vent.
The upholstery ($1,000) is done to match the original white except that two custom matching jump seats have been added to the rear cockpit. This is the nicest seating I've ever seen in a G3.
The boat has all the original trim and hardware and even the original leather wrapped steering wheel.
The windshield is original (these windshields are almost impossible to find) and is in good shape.
The gauges ($900) are period correct.
The chrome and aluminum has all been redone ($500).
The boat has been repainted in the factory approved Bright Canary Yellow.
The Engine
The engine is a 1982 Mercury 90 hp tower of power in line six.
The engine has rebuilt power tilt that allows the boat to jump out of water.
The previous owner had the power head completely redone ($4,000).
I have had the lower end completely gone through including new prop ($1,603.75) I have receipts.
This boat and engine have only been in fresh water.
The Trailer
The trailer is a single axle heavy duty for this size boat.
I replaced the bunks wood (pressure treated) and bunk carpeting (Black).
I moved the axle rear for better balance and added guide rollers for easier loading.
I installed a swing away tongue.
I added a new spare tire,rim and mount.
I also added a swing away wheeled tongue jack.
$5,500 obo
I am ready to part with it, I guess. I need more room in my shop. :-(
