Looks like a lot of potential there, Robodad...way to go.
Thanks Josh, Had to go to Idaho to get it but well worth it, it's a 1985 21' Glasply with out a cuddy cabin which is quite rare from what I have seen, most of the 21' footers have a cuddy and hard top and are butt ugly IMO, I found out the top is going to cost me as much as the boat did :yike: but it will be a nice fishin boat when I'm done !!!

I have had good experience getting stuff redone. New foam and covers if the frames are still decent.

you don't need a top, just bring an umbrella. :chuckle:

Keep an eye on craigslist for seats, I've seen them there.

I found these but can't get the folks to call me back, I think they would go well in there !!

the craigslist seats look like a great fit for that boat as long as the dimensions work out.

attach rod holders to the seats and put umbrellas in them. That way I can hold my rod instead of your umbrella... :chuckle:

LOL !! :chuckle: Great Idea, there will be no holding each others rod in my boat !! :chuckle: I think I'll just get a top for it that way the rod holders can be used for rods !!
Oh yeah those seats would be perfect since there is really no other place to put gear in the boat except in the sides and that just isn't good enough, Dry boxes with seats is the way to go I think !!

It will be well worth the drive to go see dave in Longview. Youd be amazed at his pricing.

Looks like a fish killer to me. :tup: Where do you fish?
Good question, Lately I have been fishing everywhere the fish arn't so thats a bit of a problem, I am in Port Angeles so I fish the peninsula mostly but have been dragged down to the columbia on occasion, I know the peninsula (Port Angeles & Sequim) fairly well but I bought the boat to fish for walleyes on the Columbia and anything else that bites and I am quite certain I'll go other places as well.
You want to take me to your honey holes ?? :chuckle:

Maybe "Bad Luck Is Still Better Than No Luck".... Good find for sure... Better hurry Halibut season is around the bend and I heard of this guy that lives in Port Angles knows a couple holes, or at least put ink to a map once... :rolleyes:
I know, it's getting close, all I really need are seats then I can go fishin, the top can wait !! :IBCOOL:
How about "Fixer Upper" :dunno:

Better add the Folbe's to the list. ;)
Looks like you got a good project.

Yes sir, add them to a loooooong list of "Things to add" LOL !! I might have to start with the fish-on's for a while but perhaps in the future I'll get some Folbe's !!!

Those 21' hardtop Glasply's may not win any beauty contest but they are a great boat/hull. I've run charter boats in Ak. for 20 years and during that time I've run a 21' Glasply (Alaskan bulkhead) 25' Proline, 25' Renken, 26' Olympic and 22' Olympic as well as a couple aluminum hulls (apples & oranges there). I felt safer and had more confidence in that Glasply in rough ocean water then any of the other boats other then maybe the Olympic, but the Olympic was the roughest riding mofo I've ever been in so I wasn't a big fan.
I would love to find an older Glasply as a fixer upper project. :twocents:
