Hey guys looking for 1970-1972 v163 bayflites. I have a 72 that I'm restoring and need parts for. Any leads would be appreciated! Thanks

Welcome to the forum Prixguy83 !
Which parts are you looking for ?
-
Looking for the aluminum trim that runs along the side pockets inside the boat, original style seats, original style sliding stern light, and a 70's style sport steering wheel

I got my trim for side pockets at Manard's , from flooring dept. They should have something that comes close to what you need.

1970, 1971 & 1972 had different style steering wheels, picture below is 1972 wheel.
Keep an eye on eBay & post "want to buy" on Facebook.

1970 , 1971 & 1972 All had different style seats with different style inserts.
What color is your boat , blue or gold ?
Exact blue vinyl is impossible to find, but you can come close.
I have many pictures of the 1972 back to back seats, if you need them.

Stern light can be found with a search on Google ... "boat stern light"

Thanks for the info, mine is blue, which seems a lot less common than the gold for some reason. I would like to find seats and have them recovered, I'm sure like you said to match them perfectly would be impossible, but I could live with them being close at least 😀

Seat frames were used for many years on most models / sizes of Glastrons.
Pictures are close to what color looks like (original 1972 blue vinyl).
I can email you higher resolution pictures, if you need them.
