Marketing video of the new "Retro" Glastron GT 160, too bad it's in French.

Looks a lot better on the water. Looks to handle pretty well. I hope they have one at the boat show here in Mpls come January.

Still think it looks like an old Chris Craft w/that windshield. Wonder with the new ownership if Glastron is going back to being more of a premium builder like it was when our boats were built. They were more of an entry level boat with a flair towards sportiness under Genmar onwership. That boat looks like it's built really well if nothing else.

I like mine better. It comes with no monthly payments.

Does anyone know how much it costs?

V153 · « **Reply #5 on:** October 17, 2011, 06:05:20 PM »

Have no idea but gotta be close to 20k fully loaded w/trailer?

Don't know the cost, but it has a 115hp limit.

Here are the specs from the Glastron website:

Like we ever follow that rule!!

Look at the very bottom of that PDF. "Glastron Hull Spear Graphic" So now we know the official name for the Glastron "swoosh" on the side of the Hull that makes a Glastron a Glastron.

Well, the good news is that their site is being upgraded to the 2012 models...says so if you try to build your boat.

Honestly, I love them. But...you know me, I need/want an open bow...but I'd get one.

I have a "swoosh" the new ones come with a "Spear Graphic".

I do like the fact that they put the stereo in the glovebox. It helps with the retro feel. Our true classics with $0 monthly payments (as Jerry pointed out) are just "cooler" though!

terry · « **Reply #13 on:** October 21, 2011, 07:23:34 PM »

Does that price include a motor? Isn't a 115 $10K+ alone?
