Can anyone identify the model of this Glasspar? The plate states mdl #81593 and also lists the Larson name. It is about 14 1/2 feet long.

You have a Glasspar Avalon made by Glasspar, a division of Larson Industries.

Thanks for the quick reply. I am surprised as the info I have found on the Avalon list it as a 16 ft boat and mine measures about 14 1/2. Did they measure differently back then?
Any guess as to the year? |

I heard one time that some measure along the gunwales of the boat. Not sure. I always went bow to stern.

When I answered your question, the photo was not with your post. Now that I see it, it doesn't look like an Avalon or a Lido to me. Your boat does not have the "Glasspar ridge" along the sides. Better ask the people who really know: classicglasspars.com

I did some more research and it appears in 1969 Larsen changed the design a bit and omitted the ridge. Your first instinct was right
