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

Hello to all of our members & friends, I can honestly say that I am thank full for this much needed rain, I hope it fills up the local Okc Hefner Lake. It is almost empty... But it is also giving me a little extra time to get the new tunes installed. Mike

I found the bow down problem thanks to Red. The trailer bent the strakes, It's to short, a roller trailer and the rollers rested on the strakes most of the time for 20 years. 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...

For the last 3 years I have been trying to get the bow up. I moved the batterys to the very back, played with trim settings, big block high lift propellers, more power, and no gas in the tank and nothing!!! I now know about the hooking in the hull which would give the boat a better ride "bow down" B...

For those who don't know, I am a farmer in North central Oklahoma, grain and cattle. Since we are in a pretty severe drought we had to start feeding round bales at the end of the summer, cause the grass ran out, now we are down to feeding our big square bales, which to get the most out of you have to flake them...

Surprised to see this, when I pulled the rest of the stringer out from under the rest of the stuff on the bow. One knot at the end, and another in the middle,by the piece of angle iron.

Hey all, happy new years!! Hope everyone's year will be better than the last. As for me I am getting very close to splitting my scimitar. My goal for this year is to at least get the scimitar split, new stringers, transome Mod., and to get new fuel tank and put back together with new floor. Any way keep u...

I know it is not a scimitar, it's not even a glastron, but I need to know what out drive this is. The Boat is a 2000 18' Ebbtide, I know it is a Merc. but that is about all I know.
