18' Astroglass Ski boat w/ 115 Mercury
Submitted By: GA Paramedic
Date Created: 06-23-2006
Description: This is a ski boat that I bought for $1.00. The motor would not run, the trailer has rust on it was without lights, the boat leaked and had rotten wood, torn seats and a rotten floor throughout. Many of the rails are missing. She hasn't been in the water for 5 years.

This side of the boat I have already sanded down and applied a clear coat enamel. Quite a difference from the other side.

Rotton cushions have been removed all around the chrome hand ralis are missing on front and hole were even patched where one existed on the right.
View from the front


View from the back
The transom seems in good shape. Lights on trailer are in working order.

The bilge vents are intact and 18 gal tank is in place with vent and fill pipe. Fuel gauge componet is working when full but is unreliable below half tank.

View of back of boat
False floor is down and cushions are removed from storage bin to right and battery compartment on left and fuel compartment in center. A board has been dry fitted to the back to mount the tilt/trim motor in the battery compartment. Will be carpeted and permantly affixed when the floor is fixed.

The hook is loose with signs or prior unsuccessful attempts to repair. Also a patch applied farther under the boat and poorly repaired and a possible source for my leak

Rotten cushions removed from bow seating area and cleaned up.

Not really sure what this is supposed to be but it is on both sides except this one was either cut or busted through exposing foam and voids beneath the floor. If anyone knows what these compartments are, I would love to know what they were supposed to be.
