ok, here are some pics and info. According to this web site: click me <br />I have a '65. The serial number is 205355.<br />Quoting the text on that web page: "During the 60's, Glastron HIN's had six digits, and the the third number from the left was the year." So that would make it a '65. Also the pic of the Glastron badge says '65 and '66 had this particular style plastic badge. <br />

<br />-image from website-<br />("1965 saw the switch to plastic logos. The word Glastron is the same, but it is now of plastic <br />and stands up an 1/8th inch or so. Apparently the plastic is white with the letters black.There is also the return of additional lettering below the big Glastron letters. This is probably the start of the crossed flags and the touting of the new Aqua Lift hull.")<br /><br />I just wanted to run it by you guys because my bro (the previous owner) thought it was a '69.<br /><br />Thanks for your input guys<br />...Oh yeah, the boat has 3 years worth of dust and some paint over spray on it so just ignore that for now :D <br />

<br />I believe it is the Futura V-150<br />On the metal tag where the serial no. is, the model no. says 150 T:<br />

<br /><br />Mine looks exactly like the second pic up from the bottom. Paint scheme and all. I wonder why mine is a model 150 T and not V 150. Any ideas? Mabe a cheaper version of the V 150?

My guess is the "T" is for made at the Texas plant.<br />Sure isnt a '69. I'd go with 1965.

I thought the T was the the hull type...ie...V = V-hull and T = trihull..but I guess I was wrong...<br /><br />-JMW
