Title: '70s Glastron Trailers
Post by: GT on June 11, 2017, 08:15:07 PM: Anybody know if Glastron made their own trailers for the smaller, older boats such as GT 150 and 160?

Thanks.

1981 talks about the "Package".

I couldn't find any further info on the web to help, but it appears they were only made by Conroy that didn't get involved with Glastron until late 70's or early 80's. Please don't quote me on that I'm a rather poor historian outside Carlson's. Cant see any reason you couldn't find one and put a GT on it, but it might take a bit of modification possibly to look correct for a 15' boat. Seen several that have 16's and metrics on them that fit well. My CVZ is shorter than the bunks by about 16", but it is designed to hold the Timi. Just my $0.02

I think the Glastron trailers are some of the nicest looking trailers out there. I've been trying to find new fenders for my 23' ever since I got it. I think I am going to have to find a shop to reproduce them though.

Post by: Carlson_from_Germany on June 13, 2017, 03:49:21 PM: There was a GT150 on eBay (I think it was eBay) a whole ago that was sitting on a perfect fit Conroy trailer. I might be able to find it when I have a little time.
