Because of this thread, I looked closer at the tags on my Surflite... come to find out, I have a FIREFLITE, not a SURFLITE. I looks like it's the FIREFLITE 155... not the SURFLITE 153 that was shown in the same color in the 1962 brochure! However, I don't get it?... the brochure Fireflite doesn't mention having the bench seating in back like my boat has (also not shown in picture like the surflite), doesn't mention the "hard top" option like my boat has, but the Surflite does mention those items, that's why I thought it was the Surflite to begin with. Also, the HP rating in the brochure is different than the tag. I wonder now if this was a mistake on the label they placed on it? What do you guys think? I'm not 100% positive what I have. Guess I would have to default to Fireflite, since that's what the tag says, even though it doesn't match the brochure.
1962 Glastron, Model: FIREFLITE, SURFLITE?
HIN: 02218 (interesting... they glassed in a paper tag with a handwritten serial number on it and FIREFLITE listed as model. That tag is glassed under gunwale, port rear side. In addition, I posted another picture showing the OBC rating tag, just above that tag stamped into the aluminum trim piece is that same serial number. I wonder if they did that at factory, or if the original owner did that?)
