Anybody ever heard of a "Ventura"?
« on: November 03, 2010, 07:00:50 PM »
A friend from another forum just asked me if Glastron ever made a bow rider called the "Ventura". I told him I wasn't aware of any, but that I would check with the experts. ;) (He also stated it may have been a Glaspar) Anybody?

There was an older model from the 70's I believe was called the Aventura, and I think it had a cuddy cabin.

That 210 is a sharp looking boat but it sure looks like it would be tough to see where your going when your behind the wheel. I'd like to see someone pick up that one in Eau Claire and bring it to the meet all fixed up & restored. That would be a great(big) project.

It would be a great club project - If we could find a local 'Glastron Cave' to work at.
