Expert Posts: 3588 Location: Plymouth Spaceport | You're right,it definitely has a lot the styling cues of the red fish sea shark,but the fins aren't as tall and don't have the same side sculpting. Since Glastron is still in bussiness I would assume they were worried about being sued so they altered the design. | ||

The South Seas Samoan is very hard to find and theres little info on them online.It does have a 59 Pontiac look to front end. I have a rear shot of the yellow boat that shows the fins,they are really wild.I will post it soon. | ||

They were clearly following the auto industry.there is also a "swept wing" styled boat,and Glastron named a model "FireFlite"! I would have thought Chrysler would have that name trademarked. | ||

Expert Posts: 2519 Location: central Illinois | I'm not going to pretend to know anything about boat design but I'll bet that double keel may have made dual outboards a necessity. But also very stable. The shot with passengers makes it look like a pretty large boat. Those fins being towed behind a 60-61 DeSoto or Chrysler would be an awesome sight! | ||
