Production model

G3

Built by Glasspar

One of the first fiberglass runabouts anybody could buy, from Costa Mesa, California, with the fins and the two-tone gelcoat of the fifties. Classic fiberglass is its own restoration world now: no rot, but gelcoat, stringers and a transom that is usually plywood underneath.

What building a G3 actually takes
