How much did my boat originally cost?

[ZmOz]

I have a 1972 Glastron CV-16 ski boat with a 150hp Mercury inline 6 outboard that's currently for sale. Just curious...how much (roughly) did a boat like this sell for in 1972?

Here's a pic of the boat in question:

if i'm remember correctly i would say in the range of 3-4 thousand, with the engine and trailer. glastrons were very popular and in high demand. it was a sellers market, with there sleek lines.

Funny, that's exactly what I'm selling it for.8)

Adjusted for inflation that's only about $18k. You can't even touch a 150hp Mercury outboard alone for that much now!

You wanna buy it? d

i just gave a hull away, did'nt need another project. got the boat while trading for a 71 1350, to go on my bonita 18' bow rider. the 1350 had crack the transom badly.

I bought a new '72 18' Caravelle bow rider, tri hull, glass boat with a 125 Johnny on galv trailer. As I recall I gave $2500 for it. It was real pretty and the family had a ton of fun with it.

But you have to factor in some inflation to get to today's prices.
