Could be a Rodger Clark (England) or LaRaYa (Spain) build ..
Could be a splash or knock off from one of many … Sunray and Tempest models were made in Canada.
Or could have been rebuilt before you got it and done different then Glastron.
Is there a serial number on right side of stern, under rub rail ?

Did you already replace stringers, they look to be in good shape.
As long as there in good shape and attached to transom ya should be good with 3 or 4.
My CV16 only has one down the center.
1972 and older (In USA) will not have the serial number embossed into stern.
They would have a plate on dash, back by transom/splash well or on control board where throttle control bolts to.
Under stern / splash well area, there might be a small piece of paper with serial number glassed in, on bottom were red circle is.

Hi the stringers have being replace and the floor and stringers join to the transom even to the floor.

Everything looks like a glastron just different.. I think it’s the Canada version.. and I don’t see any reason to change it to the 3 stringers, the 4 stringers might be a little stronger.. and the foam transon box’s are a triangle instead of a box. Let’s see some better pictures of the top.. this it what my 76 gt looked like when I started.

The colors are right for the 1971 model, but wouldn't have had that emblem.
Would have had the foot ball shaped "G".

many thanks cliff

The box's were filled with foam for floatation in case boat sinks, there was enough to keep it level and above water.
Pictured below is Tim Lively and the crew testing a GT160.
I didn't replace mine, but I just run rivers were shore is very close. I also go with groups of people in other boats. So help is close by.
It's nice to have the extra storage under splash well. I think with all the other foam in the boat, the bow would still be above water... Maybe.
Restored or custom .. That's up to you … It's your boat.
Look through the "Vendor and Repair Resources" section, there's everything you need to make it original or very close to it.
