What boat is this?
 

Any one knows? :) My first boat in 78. The hull is probably a 76 or so. Motor is new in 78.

No idea on the boat but Barnaby Jones wants his car back and his nephew Jebediah wants his shirt back too!

looks like a GLASPAR [ATTACH=CONFIG]551653[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]551654[/ATTACH]

:) nope. Try again.

Hydro dyne

Neeaaahh.. lol

Whatever it is it sure looks dated even for 1978. You sure the boat isn't a 1968?

Boat was raced with twin OB. In 76-77. I bought it in 78, no power, added the new evinrude. May be 75 but not earlier.

Gen 1 Batboat?

No.... But I will give a hint. They (original co. ) still makes boats, but now it's pretty much all "offshore". No ski boats. Well known and respected boats.

Glass stream

spill the beans slow,the suspense is killing me!

glasstron

I'm going glastron

It does look very Glastron but the clue in post #10 says they still make boats but only for offshore. Glastron don't build offshore stuff do they?

I think it's a trick question and I'm going with Carlson High Performance Boats. (Art Carlson). Not sure what the current name is but that's my guess.....!

RR

Edit: There may be a link between Carlson and Contender. Mmm?

MTI or DCB:lolhit:

Hmm.. OK a few more hints. There were only a few models available, back in the 70's. The earlier models had a rounded bow. Similar to the Hydrostream boats, different deck and hull. Then a bit later, pretty pointed bow. Almost "beak" like, but no not an early fountain. lol.

Excalibur?

Donzi?

SideWinder

Theres nothing left.

Hustler

How about Checkmate?

hydrostream is the only thing that comes to mind from that clue, but do they make anything offshore-ish?

i'm going with switzer. or and i can not remember the name. seems like it started with sch something?? a west coast boat that i think they still ski race with. maybe 21 - 23' range now??

todd

Schiada

I think Checkmate is the answer

Bertram maybe. I think we need another clue...

No clue needed. Lottowontopgun got it. There were several around the Midwest. It is a Hustler. If you zoom in on the pic. you can see the Hustler name on the trim tabs. Great little fast boat. I actually miss it. :)

Hustler Boats Mchenry IL Made outboard and Io's boats 1968 to 1973 they only made 2 jet boats in 1973 Hull #1 was destroyed Hull #2 is in my friends garage it has a small block Chevy in it. Company was sold around 1974. You never see them.

Disqualified.

Not fair

Possessed insider information.

Since old school boat brands names here - how about concept for the future but back in 2002 way ahead of its time. Wake tower incorporated as well.

Anyone remember this from SCAD Education in GA ?

Cobalt did a concept boat as well.

These were offered in Florida back in the early 2000's. Classic looks with Merc jet power
