If you sort those examples by the 5 digit serial number they display in chronological order



GCV01762M74C 1974 CV16SS
gcv02358m74h 1974 CV-18
GCV04295M76B 1976 CVX20
GCV04766M76F 1976 CV16
GCV06310M77C 1977 CVX 16
GCV09123M78B 1978 CVZ-18.
GCV10465M78H 1978 CVZ-18.
GCV10480M78H 1978 CVX-18.
GCV15210M79L 1979 CVX18
GCV16381M80F 1980 CVX-18.
GCV17524M81F 1981 C500


Good eye, they are a production sequence.

Shouldn't a link be posted on CGOA, for a larger data base ?

I agree, this needs to be done!

1971 GT-150 R  Serial No 113060 Austin, Texas

(Never noticed the "R", but it's stamped into the plate from Glastron!)

I think you're missing a digit there Mark, there should be 7 digits and the 4th would be a (1) for it to be a '71 boat. The R is most likely a color indicator for "Red".
You're right Rich - the number is 1131060, I'll correct my original post.  (Probably should get my eyeglass prescription checked again!)   ::)

The "M" means that Glastron was using the optional display of model year instead of certificate date. "M" stands for model year.

When this law went into effect manufacturers didn't like that they would have to stamp 72 into a 1973 model hull so the law allowed the optional method that Glastron used of stamping the model year and then a month code.

May also have caused some titling and registration issues, another reason to distinguish production date and model year... i.e. keep your 1973 boat from being titled as a '72 with older method.

If the #s are sequential as to number of hulls produced. Using the available data you come up with anywhere from 4 to 12+ boats per working day. Either way that's purty impressive.

Takes me a lil longer ... But by golly I can wreck one in a matter of seconds!?

Found these numbers on the Glastron History page. Guess they made a lot more boats than I thought!

Paul (zonian) from CGOA forum ...

Aaron/Gregg

My boat is listed as a 1980 CVX-16 Deluxe on the title, original color gold metalflake/beige hull.
HIN GCV15817M80C
Funny though, I don't see a CVX-16 Deluxe listed in the 1980 Factory Images section??? Any ideas?

Nice. Where are you located?
We tried to collect the data but since there weren't enough participants there was no chance of getting anything out of it.

Great topic! Unfortunately, I am not happy...lol, y'all have "real" HIN's. Try going to your state wildlife office and asking for a title and registration for a 70/71 Glastron Carlson CV-16 that has HIN 2410.B! The first thing the wildlife offer said, "that's not a hull ID number"...so I presented her with pics of the Hull ID plate! I received the title 10 days later..titled as 2410.B....Gregg might share the link to more about this boat.

I don't remember what the cut off is but at least in Minnesota, I believe most boats pre XX don't have titles?
Even the 84 I just purchased doesn't have a title, per Se.
There is a registration card. The trailer has a title thou. Probably different for in every state.
