hey guys hows it going...im new to the boards and i thought you would like to watch the restore on my 1978 glastron hp-171 rick clunn classic.. i used to fish from a float tube...i quickly got tired of that so i moved to a pontoon (inflatable)..i ended up getting laid off so i sold the pontoon to get some extra cash in my pocket..after i sold it my buddy on another forum was sellin his trolling motor when i asked why he said he was thinking of sellin his boat....so i had to ask...how much? he sent me pictures and said i could have it for 200$!!!! so here i am now...a proud owner of a glastron..what makes it even better is its the rick clunn addition...well ill let some of the pictures do the talkin...

heres the picture he sent me.

once i got it home i started to clean her up a lil bit

the gauges still look new!

as you can see i need to build a new floor. but thats no biggie
