1967 Glaspar G-3
My first boat was a used 1967 Glaspar g-3 ski boat, which I purchased in 1971 ... boat / motor / trailer / 500 bucks. It was a 4 seater, appox 14 feet long with a 40HP Evinrude. Great little ski boat .. but a bit a chore on certain days to go from Paugus Bay to Wolfeboro.
I had it for two years when the mooring rope busted and off it went into the rocks. No I never had two ropes to the mooring tire .. why not ? Blame it on youth. I did have insurance, so when the check came, off I went to Vin Callahan at Channel Marine and came home with a nice brand new 1973 medium green 19 foot Century Rave .. inboad / outboard. My last boat was a 21 foot Century ... identical to what the MP used in the 70's / 80's .....
The only picture I could find was from 1971 at the Swedish Village. It is sharing the picture with my first new car, a 1970 Ford Conv.
