So i been looking into getting a toon,..then yet i wanted an aluminum and then eventually work my way up to a Bass Boat...I ended up saying "screw it" and got my 1st bass boat thanks to BING JR for introducing to the nice gentleman who sold me the boat (nathan).. its a 16footer, 1981 GlassMate, comes with livewell and bait tank, Rod Holder Compartments, 50HP MERCURY OB runs perfect and fires up on the 1st turn (bought it from a boat mechanic that owns his own shop) and it also came with the "ROAD RUNNER" trailer........it just needs carpet and it is set to go and other lil minor things, nothing that can prevent it from running.

Congratulations on your first boat.
Boats are a lot of work. More time then money :rolleyes:
So its better to buy a boat that suites your purpose.
Then the time and money is more well worth it :cool:

Cool boat, great for what you need it for.....

It reminds me of my EX's grandfather's boat. I married his oldest granddaughter in my early 20's. He went with a fishing club to Lake Mead
every year...

It was all adult guys, that went there for great fishing,camping,eating for a whole week. You paid $300 and all the food, soda,gas, beer you could drink were included. He took me five times (all his other "grandsons" were too young)

No kids to watch, no women to complain or whine....It was awesome....!

His was called the Phantom....Just thought I'd share....

Good Luck

Trout Dog,
thanks brotha, it was coo chiiling with you again on another UFC fight night...we definately gonna do a catfish trip...

TailChaser,
Thanks, yeah its gonna take some time, i think im gonna stop investing in fishing gear and put it on the boat instead, so i guess i prolly take a small break from fishing.

Sparky70,
"7th" boat???....wow....

Cappo,
thanks bra, get ready for some LMB sessions

SoCalGuy7,

Nice, man! She looks solid, and it's hard to go wrong with a Mercury. Pretty soon you'll be buying rod holders and trolling motors and fishfinders and all that crap, but she looks like she'll catch fish right now!

Welcome to the world of boat ownership. I hope you enjoy washing, haha, because you'll spend a fair bit of time at it. Hope to see you up at Pyramid and Castaic!

THIS WEEK I GOTTA GO REGISTER THE TRAILER AND START LOOKING FOR SOMEBODY AROUND MY AREA TO PUT CARPET IN IT. SHOULDNT BE EXPENSIVE RIGHT??

The motor shouldn't be a problem in the salt, but you have to clean the hell out of EVERYTHING with freshwater as soon as you are done. You'll need to flush the motor to clean out all the saltwater, and then scrub the boat carefully. Saltwater is exceptionally corrosive, so clean it well!

There's a product called Salt Away. Totally neutralizes salt. Flush your motor with that. Put some in a squirt bottle too. Spray it on everything.

Instead of paying the labor for new carpet.
Might consider painting the interior yourself with a good poly marine deck paint. You can get some stuff to mix in the paint making it nonslip also. Epoxy primer will waterproof anything you put it on.

Pulling the carpet out yourself you can look for any water damage or anything you may want to make stronger or waterproof also.

I love the classic bass boats just like restoring a classic car. i am almost done restoring a classic terry bass boat and every one is right its quite an ordeal to take on a project boat but the end result is worth it not to mention it beats making payments. i went all out and gutted the whole boat. Heres a couple pics let me know if you have any questions ill try to help u out. i did all the work myself including new carpet all new wood all new wiring, all new trailer lights new livewell (not in pics), new seat vinyl

Yeah true, nobody really names a bassboat,..I'm just excited that this is my 1st boat, that's all....I would have never thought that someone like me would own a boat....its no skeeter, or nitro, or champion boat...but it something descent to start off with...

Need to have room for the lettering also.
The outboard blocks the stern.

People on the east coast put there boat names on the side of the boat. Probably because they mostly run outboards.
Personally, I think that looks overkill.

I am voting for "Pupusa" as the name.

I would still go with the Original style Carpeting for the bottom and the Textured bedliner or marine paint for the tops like we talked about.

My 2nd vote for your boat is "DD" that way peoples imagination can run wild.

I know we gots a ways to go with this gem, some supports, some carpet, some paint, some wiring, some mounting. But your patientce will be paid back 10 fold.

Congratz Buddy.
