Glasstream Center Consoles
 
Anyone have any knowledge or opinions on the Glasstream 278 CCs? Seem a little less expensive than the big powerboat brands. Never been around one or seen one so was wondering if there's an obvious reason. Looking for a second boat....Need ONE that's trailerable.

I talked to a couple of people with them an they loved them. But I have never been in one. Looked nice. Artie

Thanks Artie. Kinda the same feedback I've gotten. The rigging looked ok from pics I've seen but you can only tell so much without scopin it out first hand. It's just that it's the perfect size for what we're looking for. I'd entertain alternatives but I like the sporty look. Not looking for a Boston Whaler type look.

Two words. Fit and finish. They are a little lacking in these two areas. I looked at thir demo boat last year at the Emerald Coast Poker Run and there was a bunch of broken latches ect.

My friend had a 273 Glasstream and I have a 30 concept, my boat rides so much better than the Glasstream hands down, it planes in 3 seconds, it's a rocket, love the boat, easy to trailer, I can pull people tubing, with the 225 Optis it's great on fuel too
