You can see the Glastron styling cues. Reminds me of the old G3 ski boat, which was second on my "want that" list, after a Donzi like my cousin's

I hurt myself behind the Donzi. We were doing about 50 with me on the slalom behind the boat, and we were playing brush your shoulder on the water when I lifted the ski keel out of the water on my hardeds cut across the wake. I skipped about 10 times before I could get into the water. I guess I was doing well over 70 given how hard I was cutting. The water was like smooth concrete. Sprained both shoulders and one knee and broke a toe.

How is the interior? Looks to be in good shape on the gelcoat.

Wife says she needs a 57 glastron to tow behind her 70 Glastron, thats got style!!! Got the generator fired up today, it has a electric start, but also has a hand crank and a switch that says hand crank. It operated the lights so Im guessing good to go, will have to do some maintenance, also got the roof ac to fire up but I think Ill need some new switches.
