Title: Hi from Strasbourg (France)
Post by: Mat67 on July 15, 2020, 04:56:11 PM

Hi guys, I'm new to this forum. I am Mathieu, I am 18 years old. I would like to buy a Glastron Carlson (16-20 feet) in America because in France, there are more. I would prefer in-board but I am open to everyone. Do you have particular models to share with me or even sites where I could find them? Until then, I stopped on ccx16 and ccx20. The css 19 does not please me too much.
Thank you !
PS : excuse my english

Welcome to the forum.  Glastrons are tough to find in Europe, but they do exist.  Maybe some of your closer neighbors can comment on Glastrons in Europe

Hi, thanks you for your feedback !
What engine should I turn to? Knowing that I would like an engine that has torque preferably a v8, easy to maintain and for which we easily find parts not too expensive for repair. In addition, do you know any specialist who ensures the transfer and the formalities towards France?

And on in-board ?
I found this but I don't understand why it is so inexpensive. is it the racing engine with the three colored bands ?

In Hors-Board engine, my father would prefer a mercruiser for nostalgia. He had an SSV laraya glastron.
