Fwiw I believe it to be a '65 V143 Jetflite. That used to be red.

I agree, mid 60's Jetfilte V143. The red metal flake is baked.

And thank God nobody's sawed on it too much. Y'know later models didn't have the console. Which kinda makes sense cuz it was probly a pita to climb in'n outa. But ya cain't beat the cool factor ...

I'd say it's a '65, available in blue or red that year. The color scheme on the nose of the bow is '64/'65.

Mark and Ron found it. For $200 bucks they couldn't resist.

Ya I dunno what's up with that Mike. Should be FL, then 4 digits, then 2 letters.

Yup pretty cool boats with the center console.  Looks like there getting pretty up to speed on restoring thee old glastrons. This one should fit in real well.   

Looks like the trailer might need a little shortening.

Not sure what the wooden spoon is on the port stern, kicker motor or trolling motor mount.  Can't imagine it's a factory item.   Will be a super kewl ride when complete, just like old cars, we lust for nostalgia.

My bet would be a trolling motor Mike. Needless to say that'll be deleted.

Yeah I'd bet it's a '65. No tag found yet.

Looks like only '64 - '66 had the console. '67 and later didn't have em, went to split windshield.

Sorry you feel that way Ray. Wasn't my intention.

Suppose my main motivation was to prove Mark and Ron wrong. Mark wanted it so much to be a '64. Cuz that's his birth year. And Ron was convinced it was a '66.  So, either way, I win ...
