I just bought a boat from a couple that had no clue what year it was. ( it belonged to get father) I have the hin but can't find anything about it. It's a glasstex sea star. There is a small badge that has gtx on it also but I assume that's just a manufacturer tag... Hin # GTX16296M76k Any help would be great thanks My guess is 76 but need to be sure
