I will be ordering a new glassy on tue and am wanting to know is there anything that you have to know about glass boats as this is my first i.e. clean up and also with fit-up sealing holes screws for rod holders seats. just any info on glass would be handy dont want to do the wrong thing and pay for it later
thanks

before l could really offer advise l would have to see the boat ,or better still go for a run in it , maybe to hay point and if we happen to catch a few big jew fish then l would feel qualified to offer advise ;D
cheers spike

Hi Mate, Number one rule with glass, is keep it undercover and keep them sun rays off it.
Nothing like the old sun to deterioate/fade.
Good polish every few months will do the world of good.
If your into beaching her a lot, a keel guard wouldnt hurt either.
And as Kev said they scratch real easy.
Just remember to use stainless (screws etc) for any fitting attachments.

Hi Krazyfisher
I think a glass boat will give the best ride, when putting any fixtures onto the boat always use stainless screws/bolts and seal well with stikaflexs. If it chips, repair asap so water does't start to laminated the glass. get yourself a small (250mm) jar of flowcoat in the color of ya boat and have on hand if ya need it. Very easy to touch up small scatches etc.
cheers
