Hello all. I'm new to the group but a proud CV owner since1980. It's been in "dry dock" for many, many years now but I'm putting her back in the water soon. Right now I'm hoping someone can tell me if the windshield for a '73 or '74 cv21 will fit my '73 cv19. I'm pretty much a lone Glastron owner her...

Good Morning, I just wanted to share some pic of the new tunes I am installing. Since we are having all this rain and it's keeping me trailer docked I thought I would make good use of time and install the new radio I purchased for my little 1972 Swinger V-177. So far I only have the speakers installed in the b...

Hello members, Friends, & visitors, Does anyone here have three of the rectangle/push button trim switches I could purchase? I bought a Mercruiser black factory 3 push button, but I would rather have the Glastron Factory Dash push buttons on the dash for my 1972 Swinger V-177. Mike

I see why Glastron put bunk trailers under the Scimitar. My boat was sent to me with a new roller trailer and I didn't know better. Che...
