model query!

[chev5700]

hello all

some years ago i bought a v 163 aqualift 2 half cabin with a 105 chrysler outboard..2 bunks up the front..no walk thru..half cabin arrangement ,,,,and i have never seen another like it and there is nothing on the glastron website about it.
i had it in 1974 so was built prior to that,,,,presume 71/72?

any help appreciated in learning more about this.
thanks
chevy

The pic. might be to big, you can shrink it in windows paint by using ctr+W and lower the percentage.

Re: model query!

Nice Glastron, I dont think that this is an us production but as I mentioned b4 an european model. Can be a Glastron-Laraya as Spain has history relations with New Guinea.
