She's no offshore vessel but thought I'd share a pic of my '73 Glasspar G3. Just got it in the water. It's a fun ride, very sharp entry, rides incredibly well for a 15' boat!

Thanks, - my wife thinks it's odd that I spend more time with the little low $$ boats than playing with the Cigarette.

Cool boat. My first boat was a g3
Not sure what year, but I think it was older than yours? It had more pronounced flare towards the rear of the hull. It had a evinrude 65.
Id like to find another one.

We were Glasspar dealers in the late 50's and 60's at Challenger Marine in North Miami Fl. I was Service manger at the time, and I called Glastron to complain about the boat flexing. "Doesn't Flex!" Yeah, right. The warranty manager came down and took him for a ride. I told him where to sit on the bench seat. I had drilled a hole in the seat, and pushed a 1/2" round wooden dowel from the seat to the bottom of the boat. We jumped a wake, and you could hear him scream for a mile. The dowel was sticking out of the seat about 3". Get it? He did......

Thats funny. I had this boat in 1997 when I was 14. It was my first boat that id ever worked on or owned. I replaced the floor, but up front where the plywood came to a V there was nothing on each side to stand on......just fiberglass.....
You could watch it move crossing wakes and it scared me so much I painted ” no step” on each side because I was afraid a bud might put their heel through the boat.
