blewbyu Topic Author Offline Fresh Boarder Posts: 11 Thank you received: 0	Just picked up this boat Friday for $600.00. Advertised as a 16' 1966 Glastron. The SN, 105211, makes her a '65. The model # is 160 MB. The interior is intact and has a center console and a factory stereo. Is it a Thunder Jet? Attachments: Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

Not sure what she's really worth but the guy's wife said it's me or the boat. I think I may have scored on this one! Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

I know they had a center console model like that called "Jet Flite", but not sure about the Thunder Jet model. I've been hunting one for 15 years now and can never find one close enough to me that I could afford. Check this box to be notified of replies to this topic.

I'm pretty sure that the guy had no idea what he had sitting in his yard. I've seen a gutted one on Craigslist in northern Calif. for a grand. The boat appears to be complete with the exception of the little rubber step pads on the gunnels. Wish I could find some pix of a restored one, the Glastron ads don't show enough of a close-up to be sure it's not missing some tiny bits.
