Got a call Friday from my guy that has allowed me to store my 1st G3 in his front yard for about 10 years now, saying he wants it gone. I had offered it to give it away for free including the trailer, but sadly, no takers. So today, with a heavy heart, I took her to the now familiar to me, Glasspar graveyard. Saddens me to say that this is the THIRD Glasspar in my fleet that has gone to heaven this year. 2 Lidos, and now, a center deck G3.....so ashamed, but I knew this day would come someday. This G3 was my first "born", and, just like Lido #1, spent many hours and dollars replacing the stringers, floors and transom. Structurally it was done, but again just like Lido#1, still needed complete cosmetic restoration ($$$$$$$), and that's when I found my current G3, which was in amazing shape- only needed a little transom work to take the awesome firepower of the mighty V4 JOHNSON. Yes, feeling a bit sentimental, cause I held on to it for all these years thinking, maybe someday, it would be a cool Father/Son project that we could bring back, together, to her former glory. Now my "kid" is 23 years old, and I now realize that father/son projects are never gonna happen. Not to even mention the outrageous costs of the materials needed to restore a boat these days.... too bad, the trailer was in nice shape..
