Condition Description: 
Classic Glastron with BMW B220 inboard engine. This boat has been completely restored. Everything has been replaced or rebuilt. The engine has been stripped and rebuilt. New electronic ignition. New cylinder head, new wiring. All the wood has been replaced. New dashboard. It's sat on a brand new SBS ELR 1500 roller trailer. Only been in the water twice.Engine runs beautifully. All brand new seats in BMW M colours as the original. The gel coat / fibreglass is in good condition but it does have some spider cracks and some blistering on the bow. Considering it's at least 40 years old it's in amazing condition.There is a problem on the power trim were its does trim up and down but its slow on the downwards trim and when left up the leg does drop slowly. I think there is a sticking butterfly valve in the trim pump which is sticking or worn.
Description: 
This has been a 2 year restoration.When I purchased this rare BMW B 220 Glastron I knew what was required to get it back to the water and stop it from being scrapped.The first job was engine out and full rebuild which entailed everything. The engine was sent away to a specialist engine shop were they stripped it down and rebuilt. They have suggested after a few hours of running to check the head bolts. I changed the distributor to electronic ignition giving more reliability. I have rewired completely.I have made a new dash board with all new gauges except the one working BMW trim gauge.The floors were stripped out and replaced stringers and flooring.The seating has been redone in BMW M colours as the originals.I have spend hours on the gelcoat getting it back to something like new but it is 40 years old and does have some spider cracks and blistering on the bow, but in general it looks fabulous with it's metallic flake gelcoat.The trailer is new and has only been in the water twice. It has a flushing kit fitted.I need space to start another project that's why I'm selling.You are more than welcome to view by appointment to see it running out of the water.I'm happy to try and answer questions if you have any.Remember this is a 40 year old Classic Glastron with a very rare BMW engine and out drive.It is sold with no warranty or guarantees as to the future reliability or build standard.I have many photographs of the build process which can be shared if necessary.
