Saw this at a local salvage yard. Hope the boat makes its getaway...

My guess is that it is a metallic, steel, hull.  Vintage circa 1960?  So, I doubt it will escape the pile.

Not the exact model, but get this, manufactured by Grafton.

Darn close...... They use it as a landmark at the site so it's safe for now.

Neat way to advertise, I wasn't aware someone made smaller boats with steel hulls.  Here is what greets you at our local scrap dealer.  Someone really spent some time on it.  About 30' high.

Disturbing to see a Glastron's demise.  Standing under it while the bow is broke off doesn't seem like a good idea either.

I'm doing my best to convince myself that isn't a VW bus back there
