Posting some pictures for Kern, and his beautiful Glastron Jetflight. Hopefully these captions will help depict the pictures.

Nearly new, back in the day - about 8 years old with Mercury 650

Next two, the appearance of the boat and trailer prior to starting the restoration

The stern, showing the new center section. The floor and stringers were in pretty good shape and required no major work.

The foredeck after sanding and priming. Lots of work went into filling the factory surfaces that had waviness.

The bottom after final paint.
