Can anyone help positively ID my boat?

Hi all,

I've recently purchased a fixer-upper. Unfortunately I've no idea what it is! It looks a bit like a late 80's early 90's Glastron or Maxum so thought I would ask here.
It has a metal flake/glitter finish under clear gelcoat. P.S. The seat covers and carpet have been replaced so will not look original. Its an outboard not an inboard despite what the vents suggest.









any help with this would be much appreciated!

Not looking at anything in depth...

Glastron weree indeed dabbeling with metal flake, as did other makes such as Bayliner .... and with this old boat, the metal flake may not be original...Seem to recall that the Glastron's windscreens were oddly a bit higher than the side windows...

Anyway, without knowing her length (she looks about 16 - 18 ft) .... but knowing that seats are not original and that waterski locker in the middle looks familiar... she could actually be an early 80's Bayliner ... 1500 & 1650 bowrider did have relatively upright windows like this (later Capri's and Cobras were more sloped).... They did however have back to back seats that could fold down to make a lounger....

Others may be along with a positive ID for you ... Good luck !!

Thank you, thats brilliant info. Im pretty sure the metal flake is original. The seats may be original but have been recovered. I havent measured it but was told it was 17ft? I hadn't considered bayliners. Thanks!
