Boat identity?

A few years back I purchased a 15' fiberglass runabout. The boat is listed as a 1966 Falcon on the registration document and title. The boat was repainted in army forest green paint and black stickers applied that say Falcon on the back and Glastron on the front. I'm not even sure Glastron made boats in the mid 60's. There is no ID plate anywhere to be found. My question is this, is there any way possible that I can determine who actually made the darn boat. I would like to replace the crappy windshield with one that is more true to the era and style of boat. I will attempt to get and post a picture of this beauty later this afternoon.

Glastron was making boats even back in the 50's, but I don't know that they ever made a "Falcon." There are a few "Falcon" boats out there (one that I know is an inflatable type).

This is the actual boat. It is all fiberglass.

I'm not thinking that's a Glastron hull. Can't tell much more than that from the picture, but Glastrons have a particular look to 'em that this one doesn't seem to meet.

I didn't think it's a Glastron. Someone just seemed to go sticker crazy without actually knowing what make the boat is. No worries, I plan on stripping the army camo paint off, fixing the gelcoat, and repainting the entire boat this winter.
