Welcome to the forum elaniii !

If your boat still has the data plate to the lower left of steering wheel, the fourth number from left will be year built.

Hi,
I have recently purchased a GC 537 Metric Series with a Mercrusier 485 and Alpha 1 leg.
It has had a paint job during its 41 years on this planet and lost a few of its decals but all in all, a great boat, I have seen 48mph on the clock but who knows how accruate that is. Working to bring it back to original (if that is even possible).
Any one with info, particualrly any one who worked in the Anaheim factory in 1980/81, if you have any history on these boats I would love to hear from you.

Welcome to the forum JAA_AUS !

Cool boat !
I think they (C537) were only made for two years .. 1981 & 1982.
Look on right side of stern under rub rail for "HIN" the last four digits are year and month built.
I asked John Carlson why the Metric series only lasted for a short time, he wasn't sure but thought it was politics among management.

Good evening from North Carolina, I recently bought a 1974 Glastron CV 16, it needs a complete restoration. I would like to ask for resources for parts, replacement decals, stringer specifications, everything bow to stern. The windshield frame is good. The rub rail is great. I plan on separating the top from the bottom, removing fuel tank. I could go on. Please provide resources and contacts for advice. I?m excited to begin.

Hello folks. I?ve owned many boats over the years but this is my first Glastron 1974 CV-16. She needs most everything including a new transom, floor, instruments, decals, badges. I would appreciate guidance and resource information for replacement parts and restoration advice. I?m also looking for a used decent 4 stroke 115 to 150 hp OB. I look forward to getting to know the club members.

Hello all.  New to the Board.  My name is Jereme.  I am new to Glastron.  I am looking to restore  a 1989 19CSS.  I'm the process of learning about them now.  I am looking forward to hearing from the group.  I have included a picture. 

PS - I would be curious if anyone has any information on this color way.  I have not seen many this color.

Welcome to the forum Jereme !
 COOL BOAT !
Check on right side of stern, under rub rail for your HIN.
Last two digits will be year built ..

From brochure pictures, your 19CSS looks like a 1991 model.

All brochures and P.I.G.'s are here ..

Hypeacme, thanks for responding.  I will get more info next week when i am with the boat, but funny enough, there are two of boats in my life.  One is a 89 and the other is a 91 like you said.  I assumed this one was the '91 (picture attached). you can see the Carlson logo on it like the pictures in the brochure.  Based on the brochure, is the Tiel color standard?  any info is greatly appreciated.  I will post more when i am in front of them.  thanks again

Hello!  I'm Steve my wife is Carole
We live in Appleton, WI. 

About 8 years ago I saw an add for a '78 GT-150 for sale 30 miles Northwest of Rochester.  To be honest, I didn't know if it would float!  It had all the pieces, albiet some of it crumbled in my hands.  Well, the darn thing followed me home!   I've been working on it on and off ever since.  At this point, I'm hopeful it will be on the water Spring 2023! 

I'd like to make it to your annual meet next summer:)
