Re: Just want to know more

The first boat I ever owned was a 18' closed bow Seaflite. I think it was a 74 or 75. It wasn't a bad boat at all it had a Wakesha(sp) 302 with a VP 270T outdrive. It was a great first boat. I don't know if it was made by glastron, I thought seaflite was it's own identity but I could be wrong. I still see them for sale around here (Utah) occasionally.

After some more research, it appears that the boat may have been manufactured in Salt Lake City, Utah. I believe the company's out of business. All I could find is that they had applied for an SBA Loan in 1968. Might want to direct the rest of your research to the Salt Lake area.

That is a very good possibility that they were made here, mine had a sticker in the side glass that said something about them being from SLC but I thought it was the dealership not the mfg. But that was a long time and 3-4 boats ago. Here in utah we have a web site called ksl.com get on it and go to the classifieds section and search seaflite boats, there are probably ten or more of them for sale ranging from 67-68 to 76-77 model years. The one I had was pretty fast with the Wakeasha ford 302 in it. They took the ford blocks and marined them out it was strong runner, holley 4bbl, elelbrock intake etc. I will ask around about them some more. When I had mine I was a 19 year old punk kid, didn't care about anything other than slalom skiing as much as possible(which we did ALOT behind that thing) I was into carpentry even then and made a bunch of nice wood accessories for it. The volvo drive started to get pretty worn so I sold it before I had to replace a drive unit. I honestly thought I saw it last year at one of the local lakes, I was 100% sure it was the same one cause of all the wood stuff I had made that was still in there????? I will post back if I can find out more info.

Re: Just want to know more

This is the address that was used for the SBA Loan...

SEAFLITE CORPORATION 3363 SOUTH 6TH WEST SALT LAKE CITY UTAH, 84119

This is the bank that may have carried the loan...

VALLEY BANK & TRUST COMPANY, 2510 SOUTH STATE STREET SALT LAKE CITY UTAH, 84115

May be a help.
