I just picked up a 17' open bow tri-hull boat with the above info on the hull. It would have been a real show piece when new - boat is yellow with yellow interior (very nicely done). Wood/stainless steering wheel. A yellow molded fiberglass cover for the open bow area - two latches on the front to secure it. Can anyone place the year and model of this boat? From another site it seems that the 1077 part indicates being manufactured in Oct/1977.

Thanks for the thought re Larson, Chief. I checked out the Larson site and my boat seems very similar to the Larson Manta 175 introduced in 1977 - although my boat bears the Glasspar name. Many of the options available for the 175 are on it - wrap around open bow seat, hard color coded walking cover for bow area with teak walking straps, the Spanish Gold color (one of four offered) would fit and the boat itself could have been the same color, the bow/stern railings, cushioned bow seats, center floor storage, rated for 140 HP o/b, etc. To be continued.

It sure looks the middle one to me - same hull color pattern and looks like the same interior/windshield. This may be the Manta 175 which is 17' 1 1/2". It is not a match for the other two.
