   Lets try this again,
I just realized I posted under gear for sale.

Hello again!
last summer I bought a 1970 Barracuda. I bought it for several reasons. The first is the marina we keep our cruiser at on the Ohio River does not allow boats longer than eighteen feet to be launched. The Barracuda fits the bill. The second is our sons wanted to learn to wakeboard. I have always loved the lines of the ski boats. It has been great for my youngest son and I to tinker. So far it has been a great boat. The kids love wakeboarding. We are out almost every weekend, weather permitting.

I have really enjoyed reading the forum and i actually found out the guy i bought my boat from was on here quite a bit. It is very cool to his threads. The rubber gaskets for the winshield are very brittle a cracking. I would like replace the black rubber gasket that fits into the metal frame. I would also like to replace the white rubber gasket that runs across the base as well. The boat stores here in Louisville haven't been much help. I have tried several glass and upholstery shops and nothing. I was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. I look forward to hearing from you guys.

	Were not going to tell you anything until you post some pictures I imagine you have a 318 Chrysler in it? Taylor Made,the company who originally made your windshield,still makes the deck gasket. The other gaskets, the glass to the frame or center connector are tough. Glass to frame I would leave alone unless it is so bad that it is loose. I had to change one on mine,a very nerve racking job,you break that glass you sometimes have to buy another boat to steal the section you need. The center section I found in England but it needed to be trimmed and was black instead of grey. Google Taylor Made #826500 for the deck gasket And now Im guessing it's Korey Morris's old boat with the HM
