Every few years Glastron comes out with a new series. The new GLS Series doesn’t simply replace a prior series and have a new moniker; it raises the bar for expectations for the Glastron line. These are not budget boats with basic features; these are actually upscale with amenities that make you feel like you are in a bigger boat that costs thousands more than a Glastron. The 255 has lots of beefy stainless steel, including some of the toughest looking engine vents I have seen. You are not going to break these and have to replace them!
Sitting at the helm, your primary gauges are 5” gauges with a spot in the center for a small GPS. Wood-look accents combined with etched stainless steel and plush upholstery wrap you in elegance. This one even has an enclosed head with porta-potti. The top of the line GLS 255 has standard U-shaped seating, retro windshield, integrated swim platform and room for 10.
The builder says that the GLS “…is the largest and most luxurious bowrider…” they’ve ever built. Given the fact that Glastron has built hundreds of thousands of bowriders over the years, that is certainly saying something.
