Project Boats For Sale / 74 Glencoe/dual axle trailer $1000 obo
« on: November 16, 2018, 01:45:36 PM »
Hey guys, I have a 1974 Glencoe project that I'm looking at letting go. It was a great boat, previously owned by a member on these forums. It had a leaking fuel tank so that has been removed as well as the under bow foam (the messy part is done!). I was going to put in a new interior but I was hurt at work a couple years ago and it has sat ever since (garages). I've now accepted I will never be in the physical condition to be able to use the boat again so I  am looking at selling it as a project that needs fuel tanks (gunnel tanks would fit nicely), carpet/seats, and big block Chevy motor.

Engine will be removed prior to sale, seats on the right side can be bolted back in, seat on the left have been cut up and the seat base has been removed.

Project Boats For Sale / Any interest in '74 Glencoe project?

Attached are the pics before interior, tank and engine was removed. It is a heavy lay up that handled very windy days on elsinore with ease. I gps'd it at 80mph with my chevelle motor in it and it handheld great and felt very solid.

 If there is any interest I can get updated pics  it'll take a couple days to get it out of the garage, I don't move like I used to!

Thanks for looking!

Interior / Low profile seat ideas
« on: June 15, 2014, 01:19:39 AM »
Hey guys, I have an 18' jet boat with the cocktail style seating and was wanting to change to a bucket front, bench rear set up. I pulled everything out last season to start the work but after getting hurt at work, I haven't been able to put any time into the project and don't know if I'll ever be at 100% again so I'm thinking of taking it to a shop to have it done.
Thanks

I was wondering if any of you guys had any experience or ideas as to how I can make the seats sit lower than stock. I'm about 6'3" and feel somewhat like a gorilla with the stock seat height. If I took the cushion off and sat on the seat box, the height was much more natural looking. I'm going to start looking around at shops and wanted to see if anyone on here had any ideas I could forward to the interior guys or what. One idea I had was to contour the bottom of the seat to the bottom of the boat and then level it with the foam. I know there would be less padding on the left side of the seat due to the contour but figure it would be negligible. Has anyone seen anything like this done before?
