Although I was originally told this was a Newport, I'm now led to believe it is a GLS. Is that correct? What is the difference between a Sport GLS and a "regular" GLS? If anyone has additional info on this model, please provide or direct me to the site. Thanks, leechjrpa attached the following image: [61.05Kb]

The Newpoort 17 also has a deck molding that sits on top of the gunwales, a different bow rail, different seating, etc. Sport GLS is the model name, there is no "regular" GLS, though there are Sport models, Super Sport models and the Super Sport Limited models.
