Glastron 2014 gt 187 getting ready for summer

[Colin W]

First spring I will be getting the boat out of storage, what kind of things need to be done before it goes in the water? Also any input on how to start the jet motor in the driveway would be greatly appreciated

Usually it is motor on, water on, water off, motor off. I do not think it is any different for your motor. As far as everything else some with more knowledge about that will chime in as I'm unfamiliar with winterizing and getting back into service.

Clean, wax, charge battery's and I would change the oil and filter if it wasn't done before you put it away.

Ahoy, welcome aboard.

I put my GT187 back in service about 3 weeks ago, and yup, that's about the same advice the troops here gave me.

1. Charge battery
2. Check fluids
3. Add fresh gas
4. Clean boat up
5. Pack safety gear needed
6. Hook up hose, start motor, start water (within 15 seconds or so) run motor....stop water, then stop motor within 15 seconds or so.
7. Check trailer condition (lights, license plate, etc)
8. Hit the road with the boat and get to the lake/water.

Looks like you might be missing your registration numbers from the hull as well....? (new boat?)

Post some pictures of the boat. We need some more glastron owners on this site.

Bringing it home from the garage it's stored in hopefully today, once it's cleaned up I'll post some pics...and I definitely agree we need more glastrons on this site

Will that boat fit in a single car garage? If so, how wide is your garage?

Thanks,
